Allow users to vote on ideas #8

Open testman42 opened 6 years ago

testman42 commented 6 years ago

Proposed change

Implement a system that allows community to vote on ideas. Something that would function similarly to what UserVoice does (or PHPBack since we are doing FOSS)

Motivation

So that good ideas get voted up and not get lost among the other ideas.

Proposed implementation

For example, have users voice their support for the idea by adding :+1: reaction to the idea, and then have tags for [+10], [+50], [+100], etc. and apply those tags to ideas (issues) in close-to-real-time (maybe have a bot to watch the :+1: and apply tags). That way users can filter or effectively sort the ideas by popularity.

(actually, by writing this I found out that you can actually sort ideas by reactions by adding sort:reactions-+1-descto the search query)

Whaaaaaat, you can sort by reactions? :open_mouth:

Well, in that case, I think that's a pretty good idea :+1:! I'll look at it later, kind of busy right now.
