mousetreeon Show HN: A Minimalist Coffee Bean Rating System Built with Go and Htmx

For coffee beans particularly I don’t think finding the mean of people’s ratings would be useful. For example, I don’t like light roasted beans and might rate them 0/5 while people who love lightly roasted beans might give it a 5. Average it out and you might get 2.5/5 which doesn’t convey much information.

Having different categories could be helpful.

I recently received a 2 page written report of an MRI. I couldn’t understand a single word of it. While waiting a few weeks for my appointment at the next specialist I used ChatGPT to explain it and I found it to be very helpful in understanding what was going on. I felt it did a better job in explaining in lay terms than the specialist doctors did (radiologists, orthopedic surgeons, rheumatologists).
