I thought I would give a go at learning arc and was looking for a project to start on. There have been a lot of comments lately about the quality of the submitted stories and it sounded like an opportunity. I thought it would be interesting if stories were scored based on the karma of the submitter. Not the global karma, but a new karma for each submitter, unique to each user. Instead of voting on the story you are voting on the submitter.
voteTheUser.com is the result.
Basically each user gets a personalized front page of stories based on previous votes. The more stories you vote on the better it will work for you.
If you like dogs, vote up stories about dogs and you will get more stories on your front page from people who submit dog stories. If you don't, vote them down and you will see less. If you love polls vote them up. It won't matter to me because I will probably have voted them down. You'll see more of them and I'll see less.
Give it a try and let me know how it works for you. Mind you, this is my first arc attempt and is really just a cheap knock off of Hacker News. I'm just copying what I like.
- petercooper 19y agoJust want to warn you.. I think you'll get flack from quite a few people on the design. I don't care personally, but some people get pretty excited about stuff like this :) Even changing the color might help deflect some of it ;-) Very interesting you've used Arc, by the way. Will you ever release the source?
- te_platt 19y agoSure if I thought anyone was interested. I think anyone half way proficient in arc could redo what I did easier than trying to figure out what I did by reading the source.
