Every December, great year-end lists get published across the internet. Best albums, best papers, best tools, best whatever. By February, they're buried in search results or gone entirely.

I built Crowdslist to fix this. It's a minimal platform for creating and archiving lists that matter that deserve to persist beyond their publication cycle.

The idea: aggregate "Best of 2024" lists across every domain: music, books, research papers, dev tools, indie games, architecture projects, whatever, and make them browsable years later. Want to see what people thought were the best ambient albums in 2019? It should exist somewhere permanent.

Right now it's very simple:

- Create lists (anonymous or with attribution) - Vote on quality - Browse by category, popularity or by who you follow - No algorithmic feed, no engagement optimization

The vision is to become the Internet Archive of taste: a searchable repository where "Best X of Year Y" lists accumulate over time and remain discoverable.

Its early and vibed, but functional. Looking for feedback from the HN community on what would make this actually useful.
