Joe, I am in Russia, language code is "ru".

Thanks Peter, you are right, some kind of automatic rating, for example:
https://uappexplorer.com/apps?type=scope&sort=relevance
https://uappexplorer.com/apps?type=scope&sort=-bayesian_average

And my personal suggestion (and a lot of russian-speaking people will agree
with me):
 - remove Russian scopes (habrahabr, kinopoisk, vk and so on) from
hoghlight, let's be honest - they are trivial, more unpleasant than
attractive.
 - show some scopes from Scope Showdown
*At least 15 scopes were developed this February*, but no one in Russian
will know about them. The only way is to use direct search.
