AMA with Habr #16: rating recalculation and bug fixes

Not everyone had time to take out the Christmas tree yet, and the last Friday of the shortest month, January, has already arrived. Of course, everything that happened on Habré during these three weeks cannot be compared with what happened in the world over the same period of time, but we did not waste time either. Today in the program - a little bit about interface changes and traditionally the opportunity to ask any question to members of our team.

AMA with Habr #16: rating recalculation and bug fixes

В Chat Habra made bets whether there will be something about viruses in the AMA. We are against panic, and on Habré the topic is already well covered, so we are vigilant, but without fanaticism.

In any case, our team is in the ranks and work is in full swing. This month we mainly had bug fixes, and mostly those that are not visible to users:

  • Bugs when creating a poll for a post
  • Popup bugs with reasons for downvoting
  • Fixed jerky comments
  • Corrected RSS (if it didn't work for anyone)
  • Made profile privacy settings more understandable
  • Fixed bugs with truncation of posts, with collapse of comment branches and with ampersands in links
  • Get rid of mediator
  • Other layout bugs

Added to headerBest Interviews"Come in, great selection.

From "invisible":

  • We seriously upgraded the tools for creating “quizzes” that are available to Habr editors. We liked this formatexample), are slowly developing.
  • We are testing a new “Recommended” block (instead of the “Reading Now” block) on company employees — its content should become more relevant. While watching from cover.
  • We made an MVP PWA - while everything is not going smoothly there, again, we are testing it.

User rating recalculation

During the last months of 2019, several incorrect badge accruals in user profiles were revealed (for example, the issuance of the Badge badge to a user with positive karma), as well as incorrect positions of active authors in relation to less active ones. We began to study anomalies and made minor changes to the rating calculation formula, which led to big changes in the rating itself 🙂 Including in the corporate one.

In principle, everyone who was worried about the position in the rankings has already asked us “uh, why did I fall” and “wow, how did I get up like that”, but if you just noticed, don’t worry, that’s how it was intended.

Ask questions to our team, do prevention, strengthen immunity - in our time it will not hurt even outside the pandemic.
