I can't agree more! I think it would also be cool to be able to solicit recommendations (in the vein of "I loved
That's a great idea, I love it!
Some thoughts:
datalist
linked via ID and filled via JS would be a good solution—well supported afaik and minimally dependent on JS)For recommendations sollicitation:
What do you all think?
Maybe I don't fully understand what solicitation is, but why would we need to rate-cap it to once a year?
Ah yes, I posted a bit fast without much context. What I called "sollicitation" is what @mouse-reeve proposed. As I understood it:
Alice can only send a book suggestion sollicitation to Bob once per book. In order to avoid spam/abuse, we could also limit the number of open sollicitations waiting for an answer on Bob's side, ie. Alice could not send more sollicitations to Bob while Bob hasn't answered 3 sollicitations from Alice (Bob can close sollicitations without answering them).
(and now I guess I should do the same kind of thing with the Suggestion feature from the first message 😄)
Maybe on the book info page, have an option which allows you to recommend it to a friend. You enter the tag of the person you want to recommend it to, and then they get a notification when logging in saying "X reccommended you This Book".
It'd add to the whole social aspect of the platform IMO, I find myself recommending books to my close friends all the time.
