Tried on this article "http://gigaom.com/2008/06/22/fr-interview-futurist-paul-saffo-on-how-to-do-well-in-a-recession/# http://gigaom.com/2008/06/22/fr-interview-futurist-paul-saff... has not been posted." but it was posted ~ http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=224492 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=224492 Still like the idea though. Could I suggest some simple visual indicators:
- add favicon (red) for failure, green for success. The w3 validator does this. the favicon loads before the page so you know quickly if it fails ~ http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fpostedyet.com http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fpostedyet.com
- on the result page add a "Tick for pass" and a "Cross for failure". If you miss the favicon colour you can read the result much faster.
I like this service. Is there going to be an api so I can check via code?
- nirmal 18y agoDo you know if the article ever hit the front page. Currently, I am only looking at the articles that make it to the front page section. I will look into those validator errors as well as suggestions :). UPDATE: It is also possible that the article made it to the front page but then left before I reindexed. I am using HN's rss feed to get new content but I don't want to slam the server.
- bootload 18y ago"... It is also possible that the article made it to the front page ..." Possible. I tend to read & mark the "new" page before the main page. Could you also take a second bite by indexing a couple of pages of the /new page?
