Our submission to the #CityGridHackathonLA.

CrowdFront is an API to match users with similar tastes and recommend things to other users generically. It was hacked together in a weekend; the source is a mess.

Example Usage:

POST to /APIKEY/rate

{
  userID: "user1",
  thingID: "Some restaurant",
  attr:{
    "food": 4,
    "price": 3
  }
}

attr object is completely dynamic, you can supply any attributes and any score ranges you want.

After users have rated things:

GET or POST to /APIKEY/user_likeiness with userID to get an array of similar users in order of compatibility. GET or POST to /APIKEY/thing_likeiness with userID to get an array of things that user may like with average attributes rated from similar users.
