How to add ratings & reviews functionality to my website?
I'm currently building an AI tools directory and want to add a ratings/reviews feature for each app page. Instead of coding these myself, I'd rather use an embeddable widget or an open source library if available (i'm using node.js, react). Any suggestions as to what i can use?

Nowadays, most people are building directory websites. What is the motivation for creating such kinds of tools?
Really cool that you're building a directory. Can you add Evoke to it?

Implementing it shouldn't take long. You can use some UI elements like: https://github.com/smastrom1/react-rating
And on submit store it in Node.js in your preferred database.
On page load, load set the initial value from the DB.
That looks nice. I eventually found some alternatives as well for comment system (not exactly reviews, but i guess i can slightly repurpose it) based on the writeup here https://lisakov.com/projects/open-source-comments/
iframe-resizer-react library provided by Testimonial[dot]to. You should be able to use that to embed reviews on your app.
You mean this https://github.com/davidjbradshaw/iframe-resizer-react ? It just resizes iframes?

Why not use Trustpilot or a similar service? You seem to have the ability to setup with embedded form here: https://support.trustpilot.com/hc/en-us/articles/206514477-Set-up-the-Embedded-Review-Form
In order to retrieve reviews you should be able to do this through API : https://support.trustpilot.com/hc/en-us/articles/207309867-How-to-use-Trustpilot-APIs-
Using Trustpilot will allow my users to review my site. However, what I want is to build something like Trustpilot myself, and allow my users to review different websites/apps
