Make a great list
Turn something you love into a list worth discovering. Here is how to give it a clear story, a striking image and an audience.
Start with a draft. Add items and polish it before publishing. Unpublished drafts are deleted 30 days after creation, even if you edit them.
Still the ultimate dinosaur-sized adventure.
Time travel, a DeLorean and a whole lot of heart.
Movie night. Maybe skip the beach tomorrow.
Give people a reason to click
A catchy title tells people what makes your list special. Be specific about the theme, audience or point of view. Choose the right category so it reaches the right people.
Comfort watches, big adventures and a few classics. These are the films I keep coming back to — and why each one earns its place.
Use the description to explain what belongs on your list and why you made it. Add a few words to each item too: your own take gives people something to connect with.
Upload an image that captures the mood of your list. A good banner makes it visually appealing and recognisable. Pick a clear image that still looks good when cropped on a small screen.
Choose how your list comes to life
Pick the list type that fits your idea, then decide whether to welcome contributions.
Listing books, films, places or products? Choose Items so each entry has a title, description and picture. Use source results where available to bring in richer details.
An early start. A quiet lake. Nowhere else to be.
Some journeys deserve the long way round.
Follow the trail and leave the noise behind.
Help your list find its people
A great list becomes even better when people discover it and join in.
One item. A whole world of lists.
When adding an item, choose a matching result from sources such as TMDB, Open Library or Wikipedia. It brings in useful details and connects your list to others featuring the same item. People exploring a favourite elsewhere can discover your list too.
Your favourites. A fresh point of view.
Choose User Order to arrange items exactly as you want them. Choose Likes, then Most Liked, to let likes and dislikes shape the ranking as people vote. Set the default that suits your idea; visitors can still try a different sort for themselves.
Publish your list and use Share to pass the link to friends, group chats and communities that care about the topic. Invite people to vote, comment and contribute. Views, likes and comments help your list rise in discovery on OyList, giving more people a chance to find it.
Make it. Connect it. Share it.
Create a draft, give it some care, then let the world in.
