The main purpose of the site is to let you find stuff that you will not find on other popularity based systems. I find stuff that is on the front page of digg or reddit almost 100% noise, at the same time, the posts that I care about are buried or ignored by the majority. jaanix is not a democracy, it is more of a trading place for links. Your reputation matters, your feedback matters, the quality of the links matters. In return jaanix will try to give you stories just for you.
- cawel 19y agoThose are my two favorite paradigms for social news sites: 1) A machine-learning engine which gives you recommendations based on your behavior/tastes. 2) A focused community where articles revolve on the same topics, ordered by popularity and freshness. Whereas the first one seems intuitively more powerful (I'm currently experimenting with Tiinker and Jaanix), the second one (for example Hacker News) has given me better quality content so far.
- gaika 19y agojaanix can be both - for example: http://jaanix.com/security http://jaanix.com/security or http://jaanix.com/rails http://jaanix.com/rails are pretty focused.
