[Suggestion] Ability to rate programs #193

Open cadamsdev opened 6 years ago

cadamsdev commented 6 years ago

You can rate programs 1-5 stars. This will let other people know how well the community likes these programs.

Here's an example from another Distro (Deepin OS) https://i.imgur.com/vGuPR3w.png

Well out dated or buggy software on solus should be reported and not rated! I only can see it as a general information what the community things about the software

cadamsdev commented 6 years ago

@Girtablulu Yeah because the maintainer is gonna wanna go through all those reports and check if the software really works. Imo reporting should only be used for illegal or malicious programs. (Assuming Solus allows users to add their own programs into the app store like Android, Windows, Mac)

I don't think user-based ratings (1-5) of software is a good idea. Instead I'd suggest to utilize a score card: #126 Admittedly, such a score card project takes a lot of time but if maintained by the Solus community rather than the developers it could be feasible. Alternatively, an option to sort or tag software packages with various labels by their degree of usability and/or complexity seems to me a more computing-friendly approach: basic, intermediate, advanced or easy, medium, hard.
