Tier list maker
Your data
Tap a name to pick it up and tap a row to drop it there. On a computer you can also drag it, but tapping is what works on a phone, which is where most lists get made.

Why do I tap instead of dragging?
Because dragging does not exist on a phone. The browser's own drag and drop never fires on a touch screen, so a tier list built only on it is dead exactly where most tier lists get made.
Tapping works everywhere: tap a name to pick it up, tap a row to drop it. On a computer you can still drag if you prefer, and both paths call the same code, so neither one quietly rots.
Why are there no cover images?
Because a picture from another site would poison the download. Once a canvas has drawn an image from a different domain the browser marks it as tainted, and asking for the file back throws a security error instead of giving you a PNG.
Keeping it to text means the image is drawn entirely on your own device, and the save button simply works.
Does my list leave my computer?
No. The names, the order and the picture are all made in the browser: nothing is sent anywhere and nothing is stored, so closing the page loses the list.
That also means there is no link to a saved list. The way to keep it is the image.
Why do the colours ignore dark mode?
Because in a tier list the colours are the content, not decoration. Red at the top and green at the bottom is what the reader expects, and following the site theme would flip that around at night.
So this one block steps out of the light and dark switch on purpose and keeps black text on pastel, which reads fine in both.
