Thanks so much for sharing these awesome posts with us! 🙌
I don't know where it's a good place to report a potential bug but I noticed that some posts have wrong "reaction calculation". If you check the top posts: dev.to/top/infinity you can see that the order is correct but the numbers are wrong.
For some posts, only the likes are counted (the favorites are ignored)
Thanks very much for pointing this out, Temani!
I'd bet it has to due with caching... 🤔 anywho, I'll file a bug report in our repo and give you a mention there.
Thanks again!
Ah, so there is a github repo for bugs. Didn't find it. I can fill the bug if you want ;)
Oh no worries, I just wrote it up here!
I can understand the concern for such legendary series with thousands of likes. However, is a bookmark the equivalent of a like?
IMHO, it's not.
Ironically, I believed this change was intentional and found it appropriate. Unlike other platforms like GitHub, users can bookmark something without sending the wrong signal.
If they give both, then it's a like.
Don't get me wrong. I'm pretty sure most bookmarks mean a like in the end, but some just aren't.
Great work everyone!!!
Thanks for the shout out! This appreciation keeps me motivated to write my next article:) Always like the love and support this dev community showers on my articles.
Good job everyone
Congrats everyone
