Which Thanksgiving sides make the cut?
Every family has a side-dish fight: cranberry sauce from the can or homemade, and whether anyone really eats the green bean casserole. Send the family a Rankd with the sides and let everyone rank them. You’ll know what to make, and you’ll finally have proof of which dish is the favorite.

Why ranking beats a regular poll here
- Relatives who can’t make it can still weigh in from anywhere.
- The result settles the yearly debate with everyone’s vote, not the loudest uncle’s.
- It makes the shopping list for you.
How it works
- Add the question and 3 to 12 options
- Send one private link to the group
- Everyone ranks privately, in about a minute
- You reveal the winner
Tips
- Send it a week before Thanksgiving so the cook can plan.
- Keep last year’s result and see what changed.
Questions
How many sides should we include?
Six to eight is plenty. Make the top four or five and you’ll cover what most people want.
Can people see how I ranked?
No. Each person’s order stays private. Everyone sees the group’s final order and where they personally landed, never anyone else’s individual ranking.
Is it free? Does everyone need the app?
Rankd is free and runs in the browser, so there is nothing to download. Friends open the link from any group chat (iMessage, WhatsApp, Slack, email) and rank in about a minute.
