PROBLEM:
We are flooded with content and staying up-to-date with topic we are interested in is getting really hard.
I am extremely interested in design. There is no single website that I can visit to stay completely up-to-date with design.
I need to visit dribbble, behance to see which graphics are the most voted for today = what are the current trends. I need to visit designernews.com, reddit.com to see what are the most voted articles about design. Then I should go to sidebar.io and check out the links there, and finally I also should visit medium.com to check what are the trending design articles today.
It may take an hour or more to do all this but only then can I be sure that I am truly up-to-date with design.
SOLUTION:
With Elfinite we want to significantly reduce the time we have to spend to stay up-to-date with the topics that matter to us.
Elfinite continually collects links from the most popular online content providers (i.e. YouTube, HN, NYT) and checks the number of shares (total number of likes + shares + comments) on fb.
Finally, it rates each link by applying our algorithm (publishing time + growth number + number of shares ). The highest rated links are then published on the main page in the appropriate category.
ABOUT US:
There are two people working on this project right now. I am the programming guy, and @brtkbrtk is responsible for product management.
WHY WE ARE APPLYING:
First, we need money for AWS and marketing. Second, it would be great to learn more from folks who have built great tech businesses.
PRIOR WORK:
I was a manager at COMARCH SA (5500+ emp.) where we were developing teleradiology solution: https://teleradiology.comarch.com/ https://teleradiology.comarch.com/. I was fully responsible for this project.

- pujubuju 10y agoGreat idea! :)
- freeatnet 10y agoWhat differentiates you from Reddit or any other community-sourced link sites?
- lahdo 10y ago@freeatnet Elfinite utilise not only internal but also external communities (for example facebook users). We value links based on number of shares on facebook.
- kronopio 10y agoI think that is great idea! I look forward to personalize content for an individual user :-)
- charleas 10y agoNice! I like the idea :)
- johny11 10y agogreat idea ;-) LubieΕ ;-)
- rusalka11121170 10y agoI think that is really great idea! :)
- matw 10y agoGreat idea! :)
- mateuszzguda 10y agoGreat idea, looks cool as well. Good luck.
- lahdo 10y agoAbhi3 nothing fishy? You are criticising your own idea. Your project (WiseGuy) solves the same problem. You should rather think to cooperate then to criticise other solutions.
- silvestris11 10y agoThe web is a knockout though it would be even more perfect for me if you combined cats and dogs!
- felis12 10y agoAwesome! With an advent of smartphones you shoud take into account what girls really want... MAKE UP!!! Sometimes it would be nice not to follow tight circle of youtubers that i know but see something new.
- paweu 10y agoBig up!
- abhi3 10y agoSo many people creating new accounts to say "great idea". Nothing fishy here at all.
- bejdzer 10y agoWorking in media I'd probably find it very useful, but would there be any chance in the future for filtering content by regions/countries?
- Wiolax 10y agoGood idea! I want to ask you about sections. Is there more to come? Can I personalize it or add my own?
- mtkalich 10y agoLet's do it!
