Aside : Can someone explain how HN rises topics to the top? (I'm genuinely curious)
As of writing this comment, this submission has 4 points in 3 hours, and is on the top half of the front page. (Not saying the project doesn't shouldn't be - looks pretty awesome tbh).
Does the reputation of the people upvoting it matter? (still surprising it'd rise given only 4 points in 3 hours). Does the reputation of the person submitting it matter?
- giancarlostoro 9y agoNot sure but I feel they've fine tuned it more so that posts like this one don't go by completely unnoticed. I also believe the comments are factored into the ranking as well.
- dec0dedab0de 9y agoI assume reputation, source, and subject, matter. Though I think they are purposely vague on the details to make it harder for people to game.
