Thanks for looking guys. This site has been a side-project/hobby of mine for a while now. The past few days for me have been spent rewriting it from the ground up to be a much better site. I know that there are other beer sites out there, but I think that there is something special about making a service like this freely available and open source, and I'm really proud of what I've created. You can check out the code here: https://github.com/davidcelis/goodbre.ws/ https://github.com/davidcelis/goodbre.ws/ The code that powers the recommendations themselves is here: https://github.com/davidcelis/recommendable/ https://github.com/davidcelis/recommendable/ Any feedback would be nice. This new design is in its infancy but, as far as I can tell, it's been very stable. If you find a bug, please, please let me know here or post on the issues tracker.

This sites page loads are really fast. Well done in that respect.

    Whoa. Ok yeah that is seriously fast. This is the first I've heard of it -- if anyone cares to comment, I'd be really interested to hear what the limitations of pjax are. As used in this application anyway it's pretty impressive.

      If I recall correctly, it was written by github co-founder (defunkt) and powers github. It's pretty solid.

What algorithm are you using to make recommendations? I've been looking around in the recommendable source but can't seem to find it.
- davidcelis 14y ago
  That's under `lib/recommendable/acts_as_recommended_to.rb` towards the bottom. It's a combination of the `similarity_with(rater)` and `predict(object)` methods. Additionally, I detail the algorithm here: http://davidcelis.com/blog/2012/02/07/collaborative-filtering-with-likes-and-dislikes/ http://davidcelis.com/blog/2012/02/07/collaborative-filterin...
