Sorry, I didn't see this the other day, I'm not really a power-user.
I guess if I could have any features I want, it'd be this:
* Topics, perhaps categorized by keywords.
Maybe, if someone uses the word "TensorFlow" I'd like to know if they have other posts that have scored well with that word in them.
* Similarly, I'd like to know what topics that user are more likely to post in. If a user only ever posts in threads that contain the word "SomeSmallStartupTheyAreClearlyShillingFor" then, I'd like to know that. I find that in practice. Algorithmically, I think its not too hard to separate these two categories and distinguish high-quality users, because the way posts can be scored here on HN.
Really though, I have been thinking about building something like this, maybe a service reading thousands of RSS feeds and keeping track of comment sections in blogs and forum threads, and just compiling these webs of influence for certain links. Like a search engine, except it'd be specialized for discovering high-quality conversations.
