How are the rankings for items from HN & Reddit weighted in the 'all' list? Surely this is hard to balance correctly?
When I made http://serializer.io http://serializer.io I opted to list items that reached a certain threshold sequentially but I've wondered about how I might better present the vote information.
- messutied 10y agoWell really I just keep the ranking order as in each source site and intercalate them, like one HN one Reddit, one Slashdot, all keeping the order of each front page. I'm still thinking on what would be the optimal way to display them, but didn't heard of http://serializer.io http://serializer.io is it basically the same concept? the only site I found doing a similar thing was http://reader.one/ http://reader.one/ but its IOS app is not so nice.
- charlieegan3 10y agoOk gotcha; so order is an alternated list of the three sources. This is a good default but you might be able to do something fun here - perhaps ranking stories based on their vote count stdev from the mean score might give an interesting list. serializer is just a web app and lists stories in a sequential feed - while it has HN, reddit & slashdot on there it's kind of a different concept. It's more of a 'reader'/feed that happens to combine various sources.
- Hydraulix989 10y agoAny plans on adding an RSS feed to the web app version? What about an Android version (many of us don't have iOS, especially techies in South Korea)? I guess the RSS feed will do.
- messutied 10y agoThanks I will look into supporting RSS, and the Android version is coming soon
