Oki-doki. It's a good start, but you need to take it a notch up to make it actually useful.
Specifically, let say I am on a receiving end of reviews made by some random people. I don't really care what they have to say unless it's credible or representative.
Let's look at latter, as it's an easier one. The way to ensure a review is representative, is to ask other people to look at the review and say if they agree with it or not. Once it gets 10-20-30 meta up/down votes, it'd be more or less possible to say if the review is meaningful or if it was a brain fart.
Make the meta reviewing process mandatory. You want to get your site reviewed, pull a "meta" duty on a dozen of past reviews and (perhaps) write a review. When selecting a review for meta, do it randomly, but favor those with low vote count and controversial ones (over those voted way up or way down).
This would be an MVP of your idea. Without this, it's nice, but it's generally useless.
(edit) Oh, and perhaps simplify reviewer's life a bit and have 3 sections - "what's good", "what's bad", "free-form comments".
- willtheperson 14y ago"This would be an MVP of your idea. Without this, it's nice, but it's generally useless." But you've pointed out at least 5 new features. Let's say they add all of them and it fails.. Could they have learned that with only 4? 3? 1, new features? To me, the MVP of this idea is that someone can review a site and have their site reviewed. Everything else is just a feature. Not to say they wouldn't greatly enhance the product, but MVP literally means minimum viable product; not minimum awesome product.
- bilus 14y agoThanks, that was exactly the idea -- solicit feedback on something that works but hasn't too much 'chrome'. I received more than 200 really useful suggestions (and bug reports) and the tool will definitely evolve. It already is.
- bilus 14y agoThank you for all the useful suggestions, esp. about the 3 sections.
