Reviews App

I have created a simple review type system on our company website.

https://www.thedigitalwhale.com/reviews

I wanted to get feedback if anyone would be interested in using a reviews app? It would include the normal things such as person, company, star rating, review as well as SEO specific data such as aggregate rating, etc. People could leave a review that would be moderated. If this is something that the community would be interested in and if other developers would like to help out, let me know.

Any developers interested in working on this together?

I’d be interested!

Jordin, send me an email and let's chat.

Jordin B and I are currently starting project, stay tuned Perch Community!

Jordin and I started on project yesterday and we wanted to give the community a little update. We have a functional app currently and we are continuing to build it out and style all. Below is a screenshot of what we have so far, enjoy!

Extra info - we are also looking at adding integration for the Perch Shop App so that customers can leave reviews for individual products, something that is currently missing.

Drew can we get a shout out on the forum homepage or a dedicated spot on there somewhere?

Hey guys it would be really cool if the app included the requisite schema for the star ratings. Each individual rating could have it's own schema. Then there could be a way for JSON schema to total everything at the top for the aggregate function to update automatically. I can't help with this project at the current time but it is definitely cool. Just a thought.

seoMatt,

I will discuss this with Jordin and see what we can do. I definitely want to include all of the SEO related tags that we can. If it is not in the initial release we could include it in a future update.

Are you referring to this schema? https://developers.google.com/…data-types/review-snippet

This is the perfect addition to Perch, did this ever get developed?

Glen

Yes, there is a working first version that we currently use on client websites. I want to add additional features to it like (spam prevention, Schema integration, automatic Google reviews added, etc). I lack most of the programming knowledge needed for the backend but can work on the front-end templates for things.

If anyone would like to work on version 2 let me know, more than happy to keep adding features to it.
