You may know about TrueSkill rating system, which is excellent by its design (although more complex than Glicko). The accuracy of winning chances prediction is about 90%, and it can doing matches NxN, rather than just 1x1. Moreover, its rating scale uses real numbers from 0 to 50 and can be easily adapted for rating with "stars" on recommendation services.
There is a FOSS analog of the system, named Openskill, and it's also way faster. We have a Kotlin implementation of this algorithm:
How about adding this into the app? It also will be useful if you want to use Rank-My-Favs as a sport ranker/predictor someday. User can be able to switch between rating systems to achieve a best outcomes for him personally.
[X] I have checked through the app settings for my feature.
[X] I have searched the existing issues and this is a new one, NOT a duplicate or related to another open issue.
[X] This is a single feature request, in case of multiple feature requests I will open a separate issue for each one (they can always link to each other if related)
[X] This is not a question or a discussion, in which case I should have gone to lemmy.ml/c/rankmyfavs
[ ] I have admitted that I am a clown by having checked this box, as I have not read these acknowledgements. 🤡
[X] I will fill out all of the requested information in this form.
I wouldn't be opposed, but this would require a lot of work, and I'm not sure what it improves on over glicko2. So I probably won't do it, but someone else could.
