* A weekly newsletter of top hacker news posts [0]
* Filtering hacker news to just technical posts [1]
What makes it special is the categorization is decided by an estimation of a referendum. We estimate referedums using elected representatives, statistical samples and referendums. The efficient corrected by the accurate. The goal is to spread the work of curation so the signal to noise ratio improves. Consensus among your peers is a good signal. For more details see the longer explanation of democratic moderation[2].
Next steps:
* Curate hacker news comments
* Curate /r/science
* Content creation - submitting posts/comments
* New name
Eventually:
* reimagine reddit so the discussion reflects the desires of all users and not just the most active and passionate [3]
The code is available on github [4]. It's a mess (cashier's first website). Some silly things I've done:
* Using ReactDOMServer.renderToStaticMarkup to replace EJS so the compiler catches view type errors
* Cache using a global object on my single webserver - no memcache/redis
Biggest regret:
* Not using a more opinionated framework as I've rewritten many things 3 times and focused more the optimality of plumbing than user experience - fun as that is.
