Need design decision w/ @AndrewMagliozzi:

Views - “Top”, “Best”, “New”, “Pending”, “Digest”: “Top” means sorting by “score”, which is adjusted by date to promote newer posts. “Best” means sorting by “baseScore”, which is independent of date. In other words, “Best of all time”. “New” is sorted by date, irrespective of score. “Pending” is only open to moderators; it means posts that haven’t been approved. “Digest” is a set of posts bounded by a particular time box (e.g. a day, or a week), sorted by “baseScore” (un-time-discounted popularity). The default front view is “Top”, but it is configurable in settings. Currently, “/top” is identical to “/”, because we’re using the default front view.

Questions:

  1. Do we want to use more than one of these views? With low-ish volume of posts and votes, Top and Best are pretty equivalent, and New doesn't add much.
  2. If we do show more than one, how to best represent? A "tabbed" style like Reddit or Hacker News has looks like a popular choice for this that might be more intuitive.

Hey guys,

Just saw this. The only two views I care about are "top" and "new". We should continue to default to top.

As for navigation, I'm game for a tabbed view. Do you need more specifics?

The next couple days will be really busy for me.
