I have a few thoughts about what else to try. If you want I can write you a bit about it. I have something in a simmilar state but my back-end partner dropped out and I'm not sure I can learn python quick enough for a prototype. http://malea.lacerta.uberspace.de/up/4cc7b319-8094-423d-beef...
A few things I want to try:
- dismiss all seen links on a page (on mobile in my prototype you flick away a page like a card) by default
- sort by rating rod chronologically, but NOT public/democratic rating, only rating by the one who posts. This is the main thing I want to try :)
- auto-retweet (you can make an account that is essentially a currated list of people or curate "editors" of an imaginary magazine)
- if you retweet normally, you have to give a new rating for your followers
Mainly for sharing links. I want to allow people to share unimportant stuff and still getting the important stuff across. And i want to avoid a suggestion engine, only direct "i trust your rating personally" realationships.
