Show HN: Hacker News. But Personalized
- qnsi 7y agoI like the idea. Can you post list of possible topics one can choose? Also it's a bit confusing, but I found you have to go to settings and type topics u are interested in to see personalized feed Edit: Please add option to see more than 20 links
- raj_khare 7y agoI have done some updates. Thank you for your suggestions
- esilver 7y agoI love this concept. Many HN clients take for granted that the user wants to do away with the site’s styling. I like the minimal interface. One request: Make it possible to filter out sources. I never look at stories that have, e.g., Medium, The New York Times, or The Guardian as their source. Let me filter those out.
- raj_khare 7y agoYeah, that would be great. I’ll try to implement that.
- llampx 7y agoTo piggyback on this, I'd love a Readability-like feature where I can just get the text from an article. I use Materialistic on my phone to read HN, and articles are always a pain whereas the Readability feature, when it worked, made a big difference.
- raj_khare 7y agoYeah, that will save a lot of time. I’ll look into that.
- tarunkotia 7y agoI come to HN for views which are different from mine and for most part good content bubbles up to the top. If it was not for HN I would not have been exposed to certain topics. What I feel is personalization will limit the diversity of content you may be exposed to, doing yourself disservice.
- llampx 7y agoAgreed. Where I feel personalization could be super helpful is in the "new" section, where good content often falls by the wayside because it isn't controversial enough to attract discussion or too niche. This is where a good recommendation engine could help.

- raj_khare 7y agoYes
