Rate My Setup: Desk Score

Desk setup rating and battlestation score. Photograph your desk to get scored out of ten with specific feedback. RATE MY SETUP This desk setup rating app scores your battlestation out of ten and breaks the score down: cable management, lighting, ergonomics, visual coherence and clutter. WHAT ACTUALLY IMPROVES A SETUP Cable management first, by a wide margin — a tray and some velcro ties transform a photograph for very little money. Bias lighting behind the monitor second. Monitor at eye level third, which helps both the score and your neck. GEAR RECOGNITION Monitors, keyboards, microphones and chairs are identified where they are visible and distinctive. ERGONOMICS CHECK Monitor too low, screen too close, desk too high and missing back support are flagged — the problems that cause trouble over years rather than days. HONEST SCORING A score generous to everything is not information. The feedback is direct, aimed at the setup rather than the person, and always says what specifically would raise it.
