As someone who prefers both chronological river (https://techmeme.com/river https://techmeme.com/river) AND a metric of popularity (upvotes) nothing beats https://hckrnews.com https://hckrnews.com. I wish that design was more common. Instead of having higher ranking posts climb to the top, a hotness bar and a popular bar to the left of links is ideal. The bigger the bars, the more activity an article is generating. Are there any feedreaders that I can use to 1) score but not rank articles, and 2) set a threshold to hide everything below a score 3) deduplicate stories from multiple sources, and aggregate+/average their scores together?
