I wonder if "Rankings" from sites like Reddit and HN could be considered copyright protected. I think using rankings scraped from the RSS source entry page could result in a better user experience. And give Newspapers back incentive to produce quality Content.
- shakna 9y agoNo need to scrape: rankings are available by both APIs.
- _up 9y agoTo clarify, HN was only meant as an example. Newspapers have kind of a ranking too. A ranking could be derived from how long and in what spot it is positioned.
- r3bl 9y agoHN API doesn't have any limitations what so ever. I'm not using its RSS, but I have a script running on my server every five minutes that sends a new push notification on my phone every time a HN story reaches 500 points. Simple and straightforward way of keeping up with the tech, made in like 40 lines of Python: https://github.com/aleksandar-todorovic/automation-scripts/blob/master/hn500-to-simplepush.py https://github.com/aleksandar-todorovic/automation-scripts/b...
- mrighele 9y agoFunny, for me 500 points would be a flag that the story is not technical enough, and probably about how the latest iPhone's UI sucks, gender inequality in SV, Google/FB/Hw manufacturer spying on our life, and many other similar topics that inevitably end up in a lot of bikeshedding
