Enhancement: add likes or stars? #12

I think this could be useful.... If it were implemented, it would be stored as a list under the User index?

I was thinking it would be on the genesets themselves. So I guess in the database, the geneset would need an extra field for a list of users who have liked the geneset.

@vincerubinetti Now that I have a clearer picture, I concur with your last comment. If do we implement this feature, it would have to be a list under the geneset objects.

Stars may be useful to allow users to "bookmark" genesets. (maybe we should call them bookmarks?) In the long run it may also tell us something about the popularity/usefulness of certain sets.

Stars could be stored as a list of user accounts that liked a geneset under each geneset. In the user interface, we might only want to publicly display the total count of this list (for anonymity) similar to github. For each individual user we could display genesets that he saved somewhere in his profile page.
