Social Feed Ranking Algorithm Simulator

Interactive 2D simulator of a mobile app's feed-ranking algorithm: tune recency, engagement and affinity weight sliders and watch the weighted score reorder a live feed, compared side by side against pure chronological order.

ControlsSliders set the recency, engagement and affinity weights, the decay rate and the simulated clock speed; a New Post button spawns posts, and Like/Comment buttons boost the selected post's engagement and affinity to watch it climb the weighted feed versus its fixed slot in the chronological column.

An interactive 2D simulator of a mobile app's feed-ranking pipeline: every post carries three real signals — recency (exponential time-decay), engagement (a saturating function of likes and comments) and affinity (relationship strength) — combined into one weighted score. Drag the weight sliders and watch the left-hand feed live-reorder, while the right-hand column holds the same posts in plain chronological order so you can see exactly which posts the algorithm promotes or demotes.

⚙ Under the hood

An interactive 3D simulator of a mobile app's feed-ranking pipeline: posts reorder live as Score = Weight x Affinity x Decay(Δt), the EdgeRank-style formula behind real social feeds, and a like or comment visibly boosts a post's climb.
