Your feedback makes a lot of sense. Much of it we'll be turning fairly directly into work items - so thank you for the guidance. The two items you call out as possible bugs are, embarrassingly enough, working as intended although I can see how the UX at those points is sufficiently confusing that one might reasonably assume them bugs. For instance, the rating showing up for an article no longer rated - that is the predicted rating for the article. As you start to rate articles in a topic, we show the predicted number of stars for all articles you haven't rated. This can be useful to know (e.g. the ML learns the most from the manual ratings that differ from what it would otherwise predict). The visual distinction between these predicted ratings and your explicit ratings is that the star by the number is filled in for your actual ratings. So the UX problem is that there is no way to know that is what the filled-in / not-filled-in star means. Anyway, will try to improve this. Amount of UI text is tricky. There is value in both clarity and terseness, and it's a balance I don't always get right. The ratings are per-article, not per-story, so a rating dropdown guy for the non-primary articles of a story almost certainly should be added. Excellent point. And sorry about missing the hearts over stars trend. We're hopelessly uncool. Hell, we still love c++. |

I'm not sure the average user would be actually interested in this, it might even be bad to show them the "magic" at all because they might try to game it and muddle their own results. He has the newest stuff you determined he might like at the top and is good to go (the focus should be more on the articles itself than on the ratings, although you need the ratings). More experienced or technical-savvy users might be interested in it, so perhaps make it an option to display this information if wanted.
Here is an idea so that you still get your ratings: What I have recently seen on lichess.org is the occasional reminder to vote their training-games. You should do the same. E.g.: If a user hasn't rated anything in a while. Or perhaps display just a reminder every few visits to actually get the data your tool needs to be better.
