I have a few thoughts about what else to try. If you want I can write you a bit about it. I have something in a simmilar state but my back-end partner dropped out and I'm not sure I can learn python quick enough for a prototype. http://malea.lacerta.uberspace.de/up/4cc7b319-8094-423d-beef...
A few things I want to try:
- dismiss all seen links on a page (on mobile in my prototype you flick away a page like a card) by default
- sort by rating rod chronologically, but NOT public/democratic rating, only rating by the one who posts. This is the main thing I want to try :)
- auto-retweet (you can make an account that is essentially a currated list of people or curate "editors" of an imaginary magazine)
- if you retweet normally, you have to give a new rating for your followers
Mainly for sharing links. I want to allow people to share unimportant stuff and still getting the important stuff across. And i want to avoid a suggestion engine, only direct "i trust your rating personally" realationships.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I went ahead and implemented part of (2): letting the user who posts to rate. I'll work on ranking posts by this score.
Can I contact you by other means? Email or some instant messaging? I can sent you an invite to my little alpha.
People of course might abuse the rating, so the question is if one should normalize or at least fine-tune by having rating up and down in your own feed. And if you sort just by rating, without decay, a new user sees ooold posts at the top (because he has not dismissed any by going to the next page).
