Adding like or Dislike feature to MovieCards

[JamesKohlsRepo]

I had the idea of a heart icon that you can click to toggle between like and dislike. By default, all movies have a red heart, but clicking it will reveal a white heart with black outline, which is symbolic of repugnance. Right now, these hearts are place at the foot of the image, it may look better besides the X or the date, i am not sure

We need to decide a method to track which movies are liked and disliked. The movie review database stores rankings between 1 and 5, we can do something simmilar with a like being 5 and dislike being 1

This is a cool proof of concept. Though I think that a heart implies "favorite" more than like/dislike. What I would recommend from a UI/UX perspective is a "thumbs up" that, when clicked, turns into a "thumbs down".

Also agree that it should be to the left of the remove/"X" button, not floating out in space at the bottom.

Oh and as for number 1-5, the Netflix data gives us numbers in that range, but we already normalize them to -1/1.

If we go down this route, the API method for recommendations (which still needs to be written!) should take in:

{
  "likes": [ 104, 503, 777 ],
  "dislikes": [ 55, 491 ]
}

Where at least the dislikes array could be empty.

Sounds good, I can try and replace the hear with a thumbs up, and move it next to the X

Hi @audiodude, What are your thoughts on this?

[audiodude]

Yeah that looks great! I would change the thumbs down to black or orange or something though, to make it visually distinct from the remove button.
