[Idea] Hierarchical categories or tags for forecasts

Open omarkohl opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

Rationale

  • Easily classify forecasts into groups and filter in the UI
  • It seems very plausible that the user's calibration (how accurately they forecast) depends a lot on the domain e.g. they could be very well calibrated for local elections in Germany but badly calibrated for elections in the US. Or well calibrated for forecasts concerning the reliability of their friends but badly calibrated for work-related project deadlines. Therefore seeing the calibration per category would be valuable.
  • Making the categories hierarchical allows drilling down and comparing "politics" forecasts as a whole to other categories but also "politics / germany" to "politics / netherlands".

Notes

Forecasts can belong to multiple categories. Forecasts can also belong to no category (default) that should maybe not be displayed if the user does not use categories.

The categories should be user defined, but maybe it's valuable to provide some default categories (that can be deleted).
