I get what you're saying. I've wanted the same feature occasionally, because I think it's nice to see at a glance which posts people like, and which posts people dislike (or, in the intermediate case, even just find neither particularly helpful nor unhelpful).

However, keep in mind that reputation score is only a temporary solution for Codidact. Longer term, the plan is to move toward [trust levels](https://meta.codidact.com/ar/276296) instead. Trust levels are tied to specific activities; [editing](https://meta.codidact.com/q/276209) has been mentioned as one example.

I would personally **rather** see something that tells me, at a glance, *which posts are voted on and how, over time*.

I'm not sure how to best visualize that, though. It should certainly be easy enough to make a view that lists one's own posts sorted by votes, but that doesn't capture the "over time" part. It would be similarly easy to make a view that lists votes received by post and day, but that would probably be quite cluttered. It will be normal for posts that have been around longer to have more votes, since more people are likely to have seen them and therefore had an opportunity to vote on them. It might well be more interesting though to know that the answer I posted yesterday has been upvoted three times already, than that the answer I posted a year ago has been upvoted ten times.
