Improvements to rating jam submissions - Table view with scores

Hi, apologies if this has been suggested already. I did a brief search but found nothing.

Problem:

The current system requires either going to every games submission page or keep tracking in a spreadsheet outside of the itch website. When I participate and jams and rating games I want to try to be as consistent to my ratings as possible. After rating multiple games I want to be able to easily compare how I have rated them against each other in case I want to adjust score to be more consistent.

Solution:

My proposal is for a grid or table view to see score you have given to all games in a jam at quick glance. The rows in the table would be all games with columns for game name, and then a column for each rating criteria the jam uses. Ideally being able to edit the score for a specific criteria directly in this table but also just having a link to the submission page to edit it would help. 

This suggestion isn't about trying to make different users rate in a standard way. Its it assist in individuals who want to be more consistent in their reviews without putting the extra burden on them to use tools outside of itch.
