Honestly that read a more like you were surrendering than winning 😉

Seriously though it's been fun, we should do it again sometime.

Well I have a list of 140 different web UI elements so I think when this does finally end (as @afif doesn't look like he can admit defeat after this devastating post of mine) we have about 5 years worth of wars we can wage! 😉🤣

It is easy to win a war if you only mention the 7 opposing parties that fail at creating a star-rating component.

I’m from Denmark, where we — like our Scandinavian neighbours — live under “the law of Jante”, meaning we can’t brag or declare ourselves winners. Even if we feel like it 😁

Well in my eyes I actually think you did win but I can’t say that in the article 😜🤣

Doesn't work on IPhones so (for now) it is a great technical showpiece...do NOT use it in production!

This was pure brains. I liked the way the field was used as the rating system.
Bro when I looked at it, it was like I saw you mic dropping on everyone else.

Damnit, I wish you had commented earlier as a Mic drop would have been far better than a hip thrusting storm trooper to assert my dominance.

In honour of your big brain idea...

By the way, the Mood Selector was inspired by the happy or not terminals, not star ratings!
