Hey @CBID2 changed this to a discussion. Can you please add some more detail about the approach you are envisioning?

Hi @amandamartin-dev! :) I picture a feature where people give feedback on open source projects. Kind of like on open source version of Yelp. This could be helpful for people who want to use their Linkfree profile for freelancing or to highlight their leadership skills with data during a job interview.

That's an interesting idea! I think for this to work, first we would need a way for the repos to connect to linkfree profiles (right now they link out to the repo itself)

If we can make that connection, then the testimonial part could be on the repo owner profile. So the profile would have a repos section with repo testimonials also shown there.

Is that sort of what you are thinking?

Yes that’s perfect!

From the discussion on the live stream, I was thinking it would be like a Tripadvisor/Google reviews/Yelp for repos - with some ratings out of 5 for a fixed set of questions like "friendly for beginners", "supportive community" etc

Then people can search the repo list and filter by overall repo ratings or by a specific category. Unlike testimonials where the profile owner decides if they, the owner wants to accept the testimonial or not, these reviews would always show on the repo

Lol I thought of the Yelp angle too @eddiejaoude.

That's a cool idea! Just have to make sure we don't use starts for the ratings icons so it won't be confused with "github stars"

Here is a reference piece for star ratings (mentioned on stream), most of them are not accessible, this pattern is:

Question for rating: Is the community welcoming?

Something to consider: an alert for hateful reviews or mass reporting.
