| 5 | `sort:` takes one of: | |

| 7 | | sort | ranks by | | |
| 8 | |---|---| | |
| 9 | | `score` (default) | the front page's score: forks, ships, use and freshness at the admin's weights, plus a modest lift for likes | | |
| 10 | | `forks` | public forks by people | | |
| 11 | | `ships` | pulls merged in the last 30 days | | |
| 12 | | `likes` | likes on posts about the app | | |
| 13 | | `use` | hours awake in the last 30 days | | |
| 14 | | `fresh` | the last merge | | |
| 15 | | `name` | A to Z | | |
| 16 | ||
| 17 | The page's tabs are Best, Forks, Shipped, Liked, Use and Fresh; a row shows `N likes` when N > 0, on the web and in the terminal. | |
| 18 | ||
| 19 | ## How likes count | |
| 20 | ||
| 21 | A like is a `feed_like` row (one per person and post, `src/feed/likes.ts`). An app's count is the likes on posts about its repository, read only for repositories the viewer may read: a private app's likes are never in a public row, and a stranger never sees the private app at all. A person's count is the sum over the apps shown to the viewer. | |
| 22 | ||
| 23 | In `score`, likes add `0.5 × ln(1 + likes)`, small next to forks (3) and ships (2). The weight is a constant in `explore.ts`, not one of the front page's admin weights. | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | An unknown `sort:` word is ignored with a note naming the sorts above. |

The issue asked for a sort:likes and a Liked tab with each row's count. Adding LIKE_WEIGHT * log1p(liked) to the default 'score' sort changes the main ranking, with a weight that isn't admin-tunable like the other front weights. The direction says to do what the issue asked and nothing more. Drop it from
score, or split it into its own pull where the weight is a front setting. If it stays, say so in the pull.
