Feature Suggestion: Add Upvote Ratio / Sentiment Indicator (Similar to Voyager)

Has Summit ever considered potentially adding an upvote ratio or sentiment indicator feature β€” similar to how Voyager displays it with an emoji face and percentage (e.g., β€œ98% πŸ˜€ ”)?

The emoji itself changes depending on the score β€” e.g.

πŸ˜€ or 😺 for highly upvoted posts

😐 for mixed votes

😞 or 😑 for heavily downvoted ones


It’s a small touch, but it gives a quick visual sense of how well a post is being received without having to look at the exact upvote/downvote counts. It also makes browsing feel a bit more engaging and informative at a glance.

Maybe it could even be optional in settings (e.g., toggle ratio indicator on or off).

Not sure how I feel about the emojis but if it's an optional feature I guess there's no harm.

Summit already has an option to show upvote percentage.

This is how it looks implemented in Voyager

I used voyager for months but not once did I notice it.

At some point I was considering making it be colored or something. I can add this to the roadmap.
