Recommendations start getting generated immediately after you rate a beer. The site is in its infancy, of course, so recommendations may start out rocky but they'll get better as more people (and you) rate more beers. The sad state of the cold start!
How long it takes for the recommendations to refresh is tougher to say, but it shouldn't be more than a few minutes. I can see that the workers that process them are active, so I'm fairly sure it's working.
- Tossrock 14y agoI liked three beers about an hour ago and my recommendation page is empty. Is the queue backed up due to an HN traffic spike?
- corroded 14y agoLIke a few other people here, I also didn't get any recommendations even after liking(and disliking) beers. I'll follow up tomorrow and shoot you an email or tweet if I still don't see any recommendations. Good job! You even got the Philippine beers :)
- ajanuary 14y agoI've contemplated doing a similar thing but in a different domain (may take advantage of your library). I had an idea for seeding the recommendations by scraping reviews from review sites and mapping their ratings onto likes/dislikes. Not sure how easy that would be though.
