I just wrote a lengthy review about a site that I feel could be improved but after clicking Submit the button went into a loading state and nothing has happened since. The comment field was blanked out after I pressed "Add comment". Any way to get my review back in the JS console?
Re the site itself, I think it's a good idea but I agree with the meta-scoring. Add a point system that levels you up both by writing a review and later by reviewing reviews of the same site/commenting on them. The higher your level or the more points you have, the more your sites will be reviewed.
And please make https sites fail more elegantly. It's okay that you can't load them in an iframe, but make it look less broken. I submitted an https site and I doubt many people will review it when they are met with a huge screen saying "http only" through no fault of their own. Instead say "This site is using https (learn more), please click here to open the site in a new tab"
- arbuge 14y agoSimilar experience here. What's the difference between comments and reviews for that matter? There's an add comment button and an add review button, apparently tied to the same field. Also got some after-the-fact request to sign up before getting the review of my site I was promised... not too interested in that.
- keesj 14y agoA review can have multiple comments, and should have at least one. So the workflow is as follows: 1. Enter comment. Submit it. 2. Repeat step 1. 3. Submit review. Took me a few seconds as well to figure that out.
- nfm 14y agoYeah, the 'Add comment' link is pretty confusing. I'd consider moving the '1 comment' text below the comment box, and display the truncated comment text instead. It felt very much like the comment I'd entered had just disappeared with the current implementation.
- bilus 14y agoYeah, "Add comment" etc. is on its way out. Thank you all for your feedback.
- martin-adams 14y agoI've just hit the same problem. I love the site and it's concept, but losing user data like this is the quickest way to drive users away. I do hope that issue gets sorted asap.
- bilus 14y agoThanks! This should be fixed now. :)
- bilus 14y agoThanks for the heads up! After posting on Y there was an unexpected surge in traffic. Everything works fine after increasing the number of Heroku instances.
