Currently the extension only sorts by the total number of reviews (an indication of popularity).

An indication of quality would be helpful, namely the average user rating.

Choices for UX:

Implement additional configuration page -- https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv3/options/
Create an additional button -- [sort by count] & [sort by average]
Dual use of the existing button -- click once for count sorting; click again for sorting by the average rating
Switch fully -- use only sorting by the average; not great for existing users; could have secondary extension

Work:

Besides the UX work, extracting the average rating value is just a matter of switching the class name searched for, and using parseFloat instead of parseInt, the rest would remain the same

Further idea:

Laplace smoothing to pull restaurants/stores/etc with very few reviews towards either, (1) the average for the results set, or (2) towards a perfect score (which up weights new locations as Yelp does)

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

Hi @justinormont, it can be a great addition. Would you like to implement it?
