IF YOU AIN'T FIRST
For The Family

Family leaderboard

Free · No app · Ricky has a grandma-safe setting

Every family already keeps score. Who hosts the best holiday, whose pie wins, who's carried the cornhole team since 2019 — the rankings exist, they're just unwritten, which means every gathering re-litigates them from scratch. Write them down. Somebody in this family is first, and everybody else can see the math.

If You Ain't First turns the family's standing arguments into standing records: live leaderboards anyone from the group chat can join with one link, and an AI announcer named Ricky whose “soft” setting was built precisely so grandma can be on the board.

What families put on boards

  • The cook-off, settled by ballot. Thanksgiving pies, chili night, the sauce rivalry — put the entries on a group vote and let the family decide on the record. One vote each. Yes, even Uncle Ray.
  • The ugly-sweater vote. A December classic: everyone's sweater on the board, the family votes, a champion is crowned, the photo lives forever.
  • The yard-game dynasty. Cornhole, horseshoes, minivan-bingo on the drive down — season standings across every gathering, so dominance carries over.
  • The holiday decathlon. Some families run a full games gauntlet — one board, every event scored, one overall champion at dinner. We are deeply in favor.

FAQ

Is the AI safe for the whole family? On “soft,” yes — that setting exists for exactly this board. Ricky celebrates the winners and teases the losers the way a beloved uncle would: warmly, and in front of everyone.

Does grandma need an app? No app, no download. One tap on the link in the family chat and she's on the board — and historically, she is a threat.

What does it cost? Free for three active boards with unlimited family on each. The emotional cost of losing to your little cousin is separate.
