Show HN: SwipeSort – Tinder for Your Text Lists (PowerShell/Batch/EXE)

1 point

2 years ago

I've created SwipeSort, a tool that lets you rapidly categorize lines in a text file using a Tinder-like swipe interface. It's available as a PowerShell script, batch file, and Windows executable.

Key features:

- Left/right arrow keys to categorize

- Up arrow to rewind multiple steps

- Saves progress between sessions

- Configurable UI (verbose/minimal modes)

I developed SwipeSort mostly using ChatGPT and Claude, refining the concept and debugging issues as they arose. The AI assistants helped with the initial script structure, feature implementation, and documentation, while I provided the core concept, guided the development, and handled real-world testing and debugging.

It's particularly useful for quickly sorting through any text-based data that requires human judgment or subjective decision-making, such as book or video titles, things to keep/toss, etc.
