I got rid of nominations this year because they felt basically the same as positive reviews, and the last couple years it often felt redundant for two people to write nominations basically saying “this post was good for the obvious reasons why it’d be good”, and then to require someone else to later write a review saying “yup, this is still good for the obvious reasons why it’s good.”
But, one person who looked over the new UI said that they felt it was a little intimidating to write reviews compared to nominations, and there was something nice about authors getting comments from people-in-the-future who liked their work.
I just went and wrote someshortnomination-style reviews to get the ball rolling. But I’m curious if anyone else feels like it’s a little harder to write them this year. I might go tweaking the UI a bit to try to make that feel like more of an accessible choice.
