Add Applause-button to swag items

[plibither8]

It would be a simple and nice feature wherein a small applause button accompanies a swag item. Users can '+1' it if they feel this is a nice opportunity, and sorting can then also be done on the basis of the number of applauses an item has got.

Implementation of this is fairly simple: https://applause-button.com/. This allows for Medium-style applause buttons on static websites with a zero-configuration setup.

Neat idea!

As the number of claps comes from the server, how would we embed it into the items array to allow sorting?

[plibither8]

We'll use the same API method the source code is using: https://github.com/ColinEberhardt/applause-button/blob/master/src/applause-button.js

It'll require a few AJAX calls to fetch the number of claps, and after that it's simple sorting 😄

[plibither8]

Better yet: just one ajax request will do: https://github.com/ColinEberhardt/applause-button-server/blob/master/src/getMultiple.js

Looks good! Do you want to pick this up?

I won't get much time to work on this now because my exams are approaching :/. I'd love to review or help out from time to time though 😀

Relinquishing this. Won't be able to get to it.

[giordifungula]

[pannapat]

Is this still available to take on?
