See related identifiers for more info regarding Readersourcing 2.0 and its technical documentation

RS_Rate is an extension designed to function as a client for the Readersourcing 2.0 ecosystem without requiring access to its website. Compatible with both Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge the extension allows users to rate publications directly from their browsers. This eliminates the need to navigate to the main website, streamlining the process of providing ratings for publications.

The primary objective of RS_Rate is to provide readers with a way to seamlessly rate a publication with minimal effort—just a few clicks or keystrokes within the Readersourcing 2.0 ecosystem, contributing to a more dynamic online reading experience. RS_Rate serves as the initial client of our project, extending beyond the web-based interface available on the main portal.

Looking ahead, our vision includes expanding the compatibility of RS_Rate by developing implementations for other major browsers, such as Firefox, Safari, and other popular browsers. Our commitment is to make this rating tool accessible across a broad range of browsers, ensuring users can seamlessly interact with content and provide feedback, regardless of their preferred browser.
