Kaidomi Stories
Sören Creutzburg
Founder and editorial lead
A useful fan ranking should tell you what moved it. Sören signs Kaidomi's current rankings and keeps the rules visible: who counted, what was sorted and when the words last changed.
Meet Sören beyond Stories
The method
The list should show its work.
01
People over pundits
Rankings start with the number of catalogue members attached to each title. A larger active audience moves a title higher.
02
Scores stay in context
A score helps you read the result, but it does not decide the order. That keeps popularity and appreciation as two separate facts.
03
Dates mean something
The list can refresh with the catalogue every 30 minutes. Updated names the last change to the article itself, not every automated data refresh.
