So I’ve been giving some thought to how a secondary interest-metric might work. While the UX of the “Super Like” was terrible, I think the original _intent_ of the system had merit. I strongly disagree with the UserVoice voting model: > [@Plugin: Feature voting separated from Likes](https://meta.discourse.org/t/plugin-feature-voting-separated-from-likes/38772/40): > > In default UserVoice, you can give an idea 1, 2, or 3 votes. I don’t think I’ve ever given an idea 2 votes. I give my 3s to my top priorities, and then I spread some 1s around mostly just to keep track of some other Nice-To-Haves. That’s one extra thing I didn’t want to have to figure out for myself. And if there are people out there using their 2s, how in the world am I supposed to interpret that? In my world, “medium priority” is the same as “low priority” because they both get trumped by “high priority” every single time. Lastly, if a UV idea has 900 votes, that means somewhere between 300-900 users voted on that idea. **I’d much rather see up front how exactly many people could be bothered to +1 this idea. Then, layered on top of that, tell me how many of these users consider this a top priority** I’ve thought of a different approach to gaining insight on feature priority: ### Feature ranking This change would add a ranking to your personal votes list once you’ve voted on 2 or more items: ![image1](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/1/5/7/157408f1cfca3eca07d7e2638bb974c9e08abb90.png) To change the priority of an item, simply drag it up or down in the list (see the arrow). This would be interesting data. Let’s say you can see “avg ranking” next to the vote count in the topic view. Example: - **Steam Login** 500 votes avg ranking: #21 - **GitLab Login:** 220 votes avg ranking: #2 More people are _showing interest_ in “Steam Login”, but almost everyone who wants the “GitLab Login” **really wants it**. All your items have `ranking:null` until you’ve reordered an item for the first time. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/feature-ranking/59389)._
