Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A fan-made Hugo Awards tool for ranking ten years of Best Novel finalists and turning a ballot into a shareable sci-fi image.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-26 issue.

Field notes

The app separates ballot-making from image creation: readers first reorder finalists, then choose among a Ballot Card, Mars Depot poster, or configurable sci-fi scene. Scene controls include character choice, background selection, rerolls, and image placement, while saved rankings remain usable offline. The page credits Wikipedia, Google Books, and Open Library for its finalist and book metadata. Photo and face processing is described as device-local, with public Gallery sharing presented as optional.
