Some thoughts on SlideRank improvements

I’ve successfully deployed a sort of working, somewhat styled version of SlideRank (which even has a name!) to Heroku. And immediately I see things that need improvement.

  1. There’s no way to delete an album. That needs to happen. And if I really want to get into that, that means signing in users and authenticating their actions and permissions. That may be a hair more than I want to invest in this particular project. The alternative is that anyone would be able to delete anything. Perhaps that’s okay for now.

  2. The home page should have newly added albums, as well as popular albums. Perhaps 5 of each, then the unsorted list of them all.

  3. There should be an indication that you’ve submitted a vote, and it should clear out the old images before loading new ones.

  4. It would be nice to have albums on the error page. Or just redirect to the home page.
