Grouping the suggestions by number of 1UP Votes

As you may know, I am teaming up with @flauwy to build the Utopian 1UP button that will allow a goud amount of curation rewards for those following the trail to frontrun the best contributions on Utopian.

After my last iteration, @flauwy that he would rather have the suggestions grouped by number of 1UP votes, than a list of every vote ever made.

Implementing this was a bit trickier than it sounds since I am using Parse Server in the backend and it wants to add each vote received as a new Object in the Suggestion Collection. Thankfully, I learned to use the Cloud within Parse to perform this operation. What is actually happening:

• In the BeforeSave function, I check if there is already a Suggestion with the same Url
• If no, create a new Suggestion
• If yes, create a new Suggestion and add the previous voters for this url, then delete the old suggestion

I also added a mechanism to reject double upvote from the same person on the same url:

... and sorted the suggestions by number of upvotes without displaying them:

You can check it out on Heroku here, and find the merged Pull Request in here.
