star rating system

bring back the rating system? memex

i do think this aspect of rym helped me identify how much i really liked the things i like, in a way that a “favorite!” tag doesn’t fully capture.

plus, i could expand it for anime and other media too.

a table for you

5pt	10pt	★	?!
5.0	10	★★★★	eternement hana
4.5	9	★★★	baraan
4.0	8	★★	balaat lang
3.5	7	★	octava ge
3.0	6		ralward stal
2.5	5		triplix meps
2.0	4		cugelle de
1.5	3		aru
1.0	2
0.5	1

comparing tables

5/10pt

• PROS

  • every album has its place
  • (5pt) i don’t know if fractionals are valid yaml (nvm they can be and it’d be ok)

• CONS

  • (10pt): i’ve been trained to see 7 and below as “failing grades” in a sense, and i don’t know if i can give a 5 to something that i generally enjoyed!
  • when it’s just me, does it really matter if something is a 2.5 compared to a 2.0? will these data ever be useful?

stars

• PROS
  • after checking rym, it looks like only 22% of my albums rated have at least a 3.5. so, it’d be much less overhead to manage.
    • positive rating systems are pretty cash money imo.
  • having something in the header like stars: 2 is easy to include and easy to query.
  • i can still muck about and move things around within the star region.
  • semi-parity with hydrus rating system, and i’m all about maintaining semi-parity.
  • more complete parity with track rating system

weird conlang

• PROS
  • nothing, really.
    • i could honestly just give the stars those names anyway.

star types

i’ve noticed that ★★★★ takes up a lot of space, so maybe that’s worth compressing in tables?

Full	Condensed
★	★
★★	⭐
★★★	🌟
★★★★	🌠

TODO: See how ⭐ renders on different systems.
it’s also not much different from 🌟…

Full	Condensed
★	★
★★	✨
★★★	🌟
★★★★	🌠

(or should it go the other way?)
(i think i still like version A much more)
