Show HN: Rankiwiki a multilingual community ranking site
https://rankiwiki.com
Hi HN, I run a small site called Rankiwiki after noticing how fragmented rankings and opinions become across languages.
Rankiwiki lets people vote on and explore rankings across different topics while keeping all languages in a single feed. Instead of separating content by country or translation, posts are grouped by writing system so users can quickly filter what they can read without breaking layout or pagination.
A recent focus has been improving clarity for first time visitors. I added a lightweight onboarding guide to explain what the site is and how to navigate it, without blocking interaction or requiring signup.
The project is still early and mostly an experiment in handling content dense, multilingual interfaces.
I’d really appreciate feedback, especially around usability, language handling, and whether the purpose is clear on first visit.

One thing I’m personally unsure about is whether the value proposition is clear enough on first visit.
The original idea was not to “rank things better”, but to see how rankings change when language silos are removed. In some cases, the same topic looks very different depending on script and region.
If you landed on the homepage without context: would you immediately understand what the site is for? or does it feel like “just another list site”?
Honest feedback welcome, even if the answer is “I’m confused”.
