Good Idea MartinNew Feature: Hot and Silent Projects
I just added the score index to the LJ projects. It's calculated as the weighted average of the projects's views, comments and favorites. I will keep fine-tuning this formula down the road. The goal is to uncover the most interesting or hot projects based on how other members respond to it.
You can test it on the projects posted in the last 30 days by clicking on HOT PROJECTS link on the Projects page:
![]()
As you can see there is also the SILENT PROJECTS link that will show you all projects posted in the last 30 days with zero comments. you can then go ahead and post a word or two on one of those uncommented projects. It's sure nice to get some feedback.
Enjoy and keep me posted on how the new Project Score index works for you.
