TweakReviewsDB review

It works.... but it would be even cooler / better if it served as a front-end to TweakCompatible's database. It's counterproductive to have two entirely separate rating systems.

TweakCompatible has a richer schema: you can see which versions were rated by which devices / OS versions, you can see who the GitHub user is who's rating something, so you can potentially contact them (perhaps to follow up & get more info) or see what their other ratings are (get a sense of what else they're using). Also there's more users using TweakCompatible.

Now that TweakCompatible for Zebra is a thing (on https://samgisaninja.github.io/ repo) and Zebra is working well as package manager & can live alongside of Sileo (on https://xtm3x.github.io/repo/ repo), there's no actual need for TweakReviewsDB as a separate database.

But it does have a nice UX! So, it would be great if TweakReviewsDB continued to be a thing, but served mainly as a front end to the TweakCompatible DB.

Perhaps a splash screen at beginning informing users that TweakCompatible's DB is the new default, and explaining how the old legacy TweakReviews reviews (that are frozen & now read-only) can be accessed. Perhaps via a toggle up at the top of the window while viewing TweakCompatible DB reviews.

And also perhaps contact TweakCompatible dev and see about combining the tweaks into one. It's really silly that there's two. There's 4 package managers (Sileo, Zebra, Installer & Cydia) but they all operate on the same apt dpkg DB. Same principle should apply here as well.

(And: bug: this review had to be finished in Notes, because TweakReviewsDB composition view doesn't scroll 😳)

Finally: I'm fine with not being anonymous, if anyone wants to contact me for more info about any of this; I'm at https://github.com/edmechem .

Thanks for reading all of this!
