zelos
Zelos is the app I’m building in this series—an ELO-based ranking system for calisthenics so you can actually see where you place globally, by country, or even your city. I’m test launching it, watching real backend metrics, and iterating on the ranking logic before pushing to the official App Store.
You'll be taken to Zelos to complete your purchase.
Pros
- +Unique ELO-style ranking concept for calisthenics
- +Community-driven voting makes rankings converge over time
- +Built with scalability and production security in mind
Cons
- -Early-stage algorithm needs incremental tuning as usage grows
- -ELO is hidden initially until enough votes are collected
