Last Rated/Active Column Added to Beer Lists

Love it, @Todd.

 

I like it!
More was to sort is always awesome.

Hoping to soon be able to sort our own individual user data, too.

 

It looks like the 'active status' is reflected in beer profiles now too, unless that was always a feature...?

For kicks, I was trying to see how many 'inactive' beers fell onto different state's top lists. Not to ask for more and more, but my first suggestion with this new feature is to implement it to 'top' lists. Understandably, these beers will probably be more 'active' than others as people try to complete the list. It'd be interesting to see how often these beers are being ticked though. May be especially telling for retired beers surviving on state or style lists.

Appreciate the update, @Todd

 

Love these changes @Todd !

The two year cutoff makes sense, to avoid much reshuffling for annual releases, and also for beers people cellar.

I will hopefully get to entering my huge backlog of ratings the first half of 2022, looking forward to having all my data online.

 

This seems like a great idea. Phenomenal. Love it. I was just talking with another member about how few people rate the Bourbon County beers anymore compared to years past. He spent awhile going through the data. This type of additional should make all that data much easier to gather and set up.

Thanks @Todd

 

So, at least for me, this is going to make finding a specific beer on a brewery's list more difficult. When I go to the brewery page, the beers are no longer alphabetical, so that I could scroll to the letter the beer name starts with, I'll have to actively scan each beer, until I find it. Which will be a huge PITA when in a store looking to see if I've had a beer or not.

Why not just enter the beers name?, I hear y'all asking. Have you noticed how many beers have the same, or very similar, names? The beer you're looking for might be buried several pages deep. it's always been quicker and easier to go brewery>beer than to just enter the beer name.

 

All you to do is single tap name icon On top and it will go to Alphabetical.

 

The 'Name' column still sorts alphabetically. If you select it, it'll revert to #, A-Z. Select again, and it'll reverse. Default is now "Last Active" though, as opposed to "Name".

Edit: @gatornation beat me to it. But if anyone knows how to run a ctrl+f search on a brewery page via mobile, I'm interested. I love that feature when at my desktop, but lack that fine tuning when on mobile. May help expedite for BBThunderbolt too.

 

I do see however more duplicate additions of newer beers being added because the default is now last active.

 

And you addressed my comment in my first post via your opening post too.

Some times reading is tough....

 

Really like this change as far as being able to see new beers/new breweries that are doing work that may have less attention than the mainstays. Is there a way to have this on the state/local level? I realize that you can look at local reviews currently, but I like the list format of this change more.

 

If you're at a computer, you can run a 'ctrl' (or 'command') & 'f' search. It brings up a search bar for that webpage. If you do this while the 'all' list is active, or where you'd enter a new beer name, you could search keywords of the beer name to insure it has not been added.

Personally, I do this so I don't have to scan lists to verify the presence of a beer. Of course, this only works if you're adding beer at a computer. The latter is why I usually add a few new beers to a brewery while at a computer if I know I'll be visiting that night.

 

All I can ask for.

 

iPhone or Android?

 

Android, but if it's possible for Apple, it may be helpful to share that information with others here too.

 

Wish I could help you personally my friend, but I can certainly share for other iOS users. On a brewery page, select all to get the full list. Tap the share icon on the bottom middle of the screen (square with an up arrow) and scroll about halfway down til you find an option that says "Find on Page". Then it works just like ctrl+f on desktop
