Liking (stars) for maps

just like on publiclab.org

Hey! I'd like to take this issue!
I'm thinking of creating a model called map_likes with map_id and user_id as attributes. Would this be sufficient or should I rename it to something else, in case you would incorporate other features like followers?
Also should there be any email notification sent after liking?

Let's name the model `map_reactions` and have a `reaction_type` column that has default `like`, but we could add `follow` or others in the future. How does that sound? Thanks, and we'd love help -- i do think we are /very/ interested in full unit testing for any new feature so please bear that in mind!

Sound's good. What other kind of reactions are we having? Github like reactions?

[jywarren]

potentially -- best to just plan ahead! But wait - what if we thought a bit more about this and made reactions to individual images instead of to maps? We are considering making the platform more image centric in any case. What do you think?

Interesting..
I'm new to Mapknitter here, isn't the point to stitch the images together to create a map?
What's more important to the user: the individual images or the stitched map?
But if we're going to be more image centric then adding reactions to images makes more sense!

[jywarren]

Yes, i think though that there's a conceptual change we're considering, especially because it may be faster to just start uploading images instead of starting by "creating a map", and then people can just select any group of images to generate an export. Then images can "belong" to multiple collections for export. We're not 100% set on it but it does seem like a simpler mental model with a few less steps. I think either way, it may be useful to "like" or react to individual images rather than whole maps. Is that helpful? Thanks!
