My Weekend Startup: Find Hot News Faster
- robinwarren 16y agoHiya, I kind of get the interface but don't really know what I'm looking at. Maybe something when a user first comes to the site to explain what's going on? Specifically, where do the stories come from and what determines their position on the page. And, some explanation of why I might 'log in with Facebook' Cheers, congrats on putting something out there.
- karmafeeder 16y agoThe site is basically just an RSS reader + voting system. These are sites that constantly show up on HN front page and in other community news sites: the idea is that you can repost from this site for instant karma. The number of sites that I am pulling from is still kind of low. As I add more sites, the story quantity will get higher and then I will look at ways to increase story quality too. The facebook auth is required to vote, which I need to add a prompt if you try to vote before logging in. Thanks for the feedback.
- randall 16y agoI had a similar reaction. "So this is like Digg without a community?"
- makethetick 16y agoWhy do people feel the need to compete for karma? It's not a competition.. if you find/have something of interest, share it, if not, go find something better to do..
- karmafeeder 16y ago"karmafeeder" is meant somewhat tongue in cheek. Really it is just a better news aggregator, that is all.
