MODX Evolution Star Rating with jQuery Raty
A small ecosystem snapshot of the Evolution Star Rating addon moving to a jQuery Raty-based implementation.
Rating widgets are a good example of the small interaction layers that make a CMS feel more complete in real projects. This addon update moved the Evolution Star Rating implementation onto jQuery Raty, which made the frontend integration cleaner and more flexible.
As an ecosystem item, this matters less because of the stars themselves and more because it shows how the Evolution addon space kept modernizing familiar UX patterns instead of freezing on older widget code.
The release is also a useful reminder that even a modest addon can gain a second life when it adopts a better-maintained frontend library and clearer installation guidance.
