That worked. Here’s my feedback:
- did you like this feed better than chronological
No, I prefer the chronological feed more. This one showed a mix of recent notes and older notes, which wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, but some that were nearly a month old and that’s too far back. I would only be interested in notes from perhaps the last day or two at most. And it only showed notes from a handful of of the same people.
- did it show you users you care about
Some of them were users I care about, but some were not. Some were people I don’t even follow. I would prefer it to be only notes from people I follow.
- did you find notes you didn't see before and glad you caught them here
No. The notes it showed were popular notes that get shared a lot anyway and so I already had seem them.
- were you confused why a certain post appeared, and please provide the note ID of any such cases
No, I wasn’t confused by any of the notes being included, besides preferring to only see notes from users I follow.
- did a user show up too often and you thought it was annoying
Yes. It was primarily posts from Odell, Walker, Gigi, Lyn, and NVK. As much as I may like them and their posts, there did seem to be a heavy representation of their content on the feed compared to other users.
- anything else you think will help me improve it
It would be more interesting if the notes shown were pulled from my own follows, or even better from those of my follows that I interact with most. But if it’s meant to surface other users that I don’t follow, then it would be good to show a variety of users and not simply the same popular notes by the same popular users shown on other trending feeds.
