@elijahmuwanguzi Thought about the same, a rating system wouldn't work. You'd need to track attribution for measure performance. And probably also some ocr/ml to index and map memes for similarities / differences. Heck even structuring and indexing meme data would be a huge start.

 

[elijahmuwanguzi]

@morihei There's a tag and title so it should make it easier to rank meme data to users and additional ml would be implemented afterwards. Attribution could be measured by tracking number of visits comments and also the rating system too. The rating system is like a grade by implementing -> in a friendly ui ux like they use double tap for likes right this works by long press and drag.

@elijahmuwanguzi Ratings systems are subjective and meaningless though, unless you have user attribution. I can explain more if you'd like but I think it's intuitive.

Also, you're not really capturing any data with tag and title.

 

[elijahmuwanguzi]

@morihei Upvotes, likes, subscribers and followers are all subjective. Can you tell me more about user attribution you mentioned, what's your thoughts?

 

[elijahmuwanguzi]

@morihei I thought that rating could be the best alternative to sharing quality content because you give time to rate unlike simple like dislike system

 

[morihei]

@elijahmuwanguzi Ratings are subjective so you need to consider a rating as a composite user-rating value.

If I like seafood, and you don't, and we both go to a great seafood restaurant, and we both rate our experience (out of 5), then it might receive an average score of 2.5 unweighted, simply because someone who doesn't like seafood rated it. So you need to control for user preferences and full behavioral datasets. Do you understand what I'm saying? You can use ratings data, but it must be robust otherwise it is meaningless.

 

[elijahmuwanguzi]

@morihei Okay i get you. Yeah 1 out of 5 would make the full rating drop.

@elijahmuwanguzi Sounds like those "Like or Dislike" sites in the 90s, not judging retro is always nice!

 

[elijahmuwanguzi]

@raptureready1958 I'm not familiar with those is there example I can checkout? And memes aren't supposed to be judged they're just fun isn't that right.

@elijahmuwanguzi If anyone actually wants to create this, let me know. We are MVP developers and we’ll get it done in under 30 days.

@godfavorme what you think best first build for Android or ios

 

[hannahmae26]

@elijahmuwanguzi great project you should work on this

 

[dharlyncheck]

@elijahmuwanguzi How would you compete with the memes of current social platforms in the early stages when you're first getting off the ground?

@elijahmuwanguzi If you want my feedback I think can improve the app! I can help!
