Findings / UX-025
Ratings never reach the author
OpenHighGapnewsroom.sgit.ai
What we saw
Ratings stay in the reader's browser unless they choose to send their whole reading record.
Why it matters
The first contacts sent to the site teach the author nothing about what landed.
The fix
One-tap send by default, with plain consent ("Send this rating to Dinis, anonymous"), through the encrypted append lane, with a local receipt.
The record
| Status | Open |
| Severity | High |
| Kind | Gap: something the reader needs is not there |
| Product | newsroom.sgit.ai, site |
| Where | https://newsroom.sgit.ai/articles/ |
| Problems | Missing channel |
| Visibility | Silent: no symptom on screen: found only by measuring, or by its consequences |
| Recommendation | Open a channel: send it to a person by default, with consent, and give the reader a receipt |
| Area | Feedback |
| Breaks | Feedback reaches someone, and the reader gets a receipt |
