Welcome
WARNING: Early preview, things will change. Consider any reviews you put in to be test data, subject to being deleted at any point.
This is an early preview of One Word or Another, where anyone can provide their brief opinion.
Lots of ideas and things to do:
- Erm...make it so you can only put one word in
- Swear filter, rubbish reducer and review flagging
- Friendlier validation rather than a big orrible error
- Pick from known databases rather than enter any title
- Show proper covers
- Onboarding flow
- Unique mandatory usernames
- click through to find out more about book/film/etc
- Is your favourite book considered "meh" or "INCREDIBLE"?
- Fun stuff to share your reviews
- Friend groups/follows to see reviews from your crew
- Social logins
- A way nicer UI
- Prizes/badges: first to review something. Unique review. In crowd review. Unique review that became popular. Binge review a series. Streaks. Good citizen (flags up naughty reviews). Early adopter. Top x reviewer.
- Onboarding flow (create first review etc)
- Get review privileges (extra word etc)
- Decide if this is called 1 Word or Another, or One Word or Another.
Known bugs and annoyances
Bugs are annoying
- How/should I get Haruki Murakami's name to show in English rather than Chinese?
- Top 10 results returned only might not get the required book. Allow search refinement, more results, search by Author?
