Tried that but there were few who had upvotes, probably a combination of the karma and upvotes would work well.

- skept 10y agoYou can rank by upvotes and use karma as the tiebreaker.
- nkoren 10y agoSounds like the problem is that your sample size is too small. What happens if you expand the timeframe out to a month? Or a year? That should give you books that are cited repeatedly, not just the books which have recently been mentioned by high-karma HN users.
- udfalkso 10y agoAgreed. Monthly seems like a much more natural timeframe for book recommendations than weekly. Trailing 30 days would probably be the best for the homepage. Then allow browsing by calendar month.
