Show HN: Tracket.com – A Mix Between Google News and the Internet Archive
- lettergram 9y agoPretty cool, some advice: - Add loading bars of some kind - Some of the older content send me to 404 errors[0] - It's not clear what the value-proposition is (why should I use this over Google New?) I'm actually working on something similar, albeit targeting a completely different market: https://projectpiglet.com/ https://projectpiglet.com/ Of course, I'm trying to track all the content myself - which has been interesting.

- dglass 9y agoHey thanks! That's some helpful feedback. I'll have to fix that URL issue. Unfortunately some sites take down their articles after a period of time so some links that worked previously don't work anymore. I've struggled to refine the value prop over time. I originally built tracket to scratch an itch I had and I've been trying to come up with a better value prop for others.
- Nimsical 9y agoHow is the clustering of these articles actually work? Pretty interesting!
- dglass 9y agoThanks! I'm using a td-idf algorithm to rank similarity between stories. It's evolved over time and I'm constantly refining it.
