Rank

Interactive feature prioritization tool for rank.friborg.uk.

Product definition

Rank is a fast intake and prioritization board for product ideas from Jimmi and agents.

Core loop:

Capture idea → score impact/effort/confidence/urgency → drag into milestone → revisit top-ranked work

Chosen subdomain: rank.friborg.uk — short, memorable, and honest about the job.

UX principles

• One-screen capture, no modal ceremony.
• Keyboard-first: / focuses capture, Enter saves.
• Plain sharp visual system: zero rounded corners, dark space/glass, high contrast.
• Milestones are customizable lanes, not a rigid roadmap prison.
• Agents can post ideas through the same API endpoint as the UI.

Architecture

• Node/Express app on port 3045
• Static SPA in public/
• Appwrite TablesDB persistence
• Docker deploy on Unraid
• Gitea remote repo
• Nginx Proxy Manager routes rank.friborg.uk → 192.168.30.100:3045
