Show HN: MatterRank – Build search engines that rank results by your criteria
Today, search engines rank results based on broad, one-size-fits-all algorithms like Google's PageRank, optimizing for the "average" user.

We built MatterRank to give you complete control over how your search results are evaluated and ranked. Just use words to specify your preferences and how important each criterion is. MatterRank reranks results based on these personalized settings.

More broadly, we believe consumer software is shifting fundamentally. LLMs mean that anyone that understands language now has the tools to communicate to their software what they want out of it. As such, the role of an engineer will soon no longer be to build deterministic experiences, but to provide the best infrastructure for user customization via language.

We'd appreciate any feedback or criticism.
