A Ruby gem that adds voting functionality (upvote/downvote, like/dislike) to Rails ActiveRecord models. Any model can vote on any other model, with support for arbitrary scopes and cached vote tallies.

Use cases

• add upvotes/downvotes to posts in a rails app
• let users like or dislike content
• implement voting on any activerecord model
• track votes from non-user models like groups or teams
• count likes and dislikes on records

When to choose

• you have a Rails/ActiveRecord app and need flexible voting or liking on models
• you want votes to come from arbitrary voter models, not just users
• you need scoped voting and cached vote counts

When to avoid

• you are not using Rails or ActiveRecord
• you need a standalone voting API service
• you need very advanced reputation or ranking algorithms beyond weighted scores
