View number of likes and dislikes #31

Is there a way to view the number or percentage of likes and dislike for a particular beer or brewery? Thanks!

adlhancock commented 12 years ago

I second this. Absolute numbers would give both a clear and simple measure of both a beer's popularity and obscurity. A second benefit would be to indirectly show the number of users on the site, which could attract even more people to be involved.

davidcelis commented 12 years ago

Yeah I should really do this. I've mainly avoided it to avoid confusion over how the Top 100 section works; hint: it's not a like to dislike ratio ;)

adlhancock commented 12 years ago

without suggesting direct copying (I know that the project is an implementation of Reccomendable), a reddit-style algorithm could provide "hot" "top" and "controversial" comparisons.

davidcelis commented 12 years ago

Haha actually, the "Top" feature of Recommendable does use a Reddit-style algorithm. Specifically, the one that rates and sorts the "Best" comments on an article's comments thread. I found it in this article by Evan Miller. Because of the math, the likes/dislikes ratio on the top beers can seem pretty random. Which is awesome.

Aaaand... Done.
