Ratings & Comments

Two independent features, controlled by feature flags. Both show on /project/[slug] pages when enabled.

Project detail page

Ratings

• 1–5 stars, one rating per user per project
• Average shown on the project card in the catalog
• Stored in the ratings table
• Component: StarRating in components/directory/

To sort projects by rating in the listing, pick the top_rated option — already configured in directory.config.ts.

Turning on / off

ratings: true,   // or false to hide

Disabled → widget doesn't render, API returns 404, catalog sort option is hidden.

Comments

• Flat list (not threaded by default)
• Anyone logged in can post
• Admins see a delete button on any comment
• Stored in the comments table
• Component: CommentSection

Turning on / off

comments: true,   // or false to hide

Moderation

Comments aren't auto-moderated. For small directories you can watch them manually from /admin → click a project → see comments inline. For larger directories, integrate a third-party moderation API in the POST /api/comments route.

Anti-spam basics

• Rate-limited per IP via the comments rate-limit tier (lib/rate-limit.ts)
• Input is sanitized by sanitizeString() in lib/validations/schemas.ts (strips <>, javascript:, on*=, data: URIs)
• Logged-in users only — no anonymous comments
