Hackerfeed for News.YC

20 points by twism 18y ago

http://ycfeeds.com/hackerfeed Somewhat similar to friendfeed for News.YC. Its going to be slow because I need you guys to warm up the cache for me. The AJAX features ("more", "replies") are currently disabled but should be working by this time tomorrow, also previous and next pages are in the works. I'm off to YC meetup in Cambridge, enjoy and don't break it.

"... Somewhat similar to friendfeed for News.YC. Its going to be slow because I need you guys to warm up the cache for me ..." Works fine for me, no delays. I'm still impressed with the personal RSS feed. With comments this makes it even better. Well done.

This is neat, not something I would actually use, but neat. Well designed and easy to use. I went to the page and instantaneously understood what it was for. Which, in my mind, is the sign of a well designed and good application. Nice work.

Will it work if I add http://ycfeeds.com/hackerfeed?user=jfornear http://ycfeeds.com/hackerfeed?user=jfornear into my friendfeed? EDIT: I guess not, but you should add friendfeed support :D

Did you ask for permission to crawl news.yc? (see http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=271119 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=271119)

  no i did not. I'm not crawling the entire site, just enough to get the data that is needed. I think the app would still work if my ip was throttled anyways, albeit new items would show up on feeds later (but the app response time would be quicker).

Simple. Functional. Fast. Thanks! I actually like the fact you can look at feeds and see deleted and changed posts. With observation and a little comparison, you can see the revision process (or lack of) for (your favourite) users.

This is seriously cool. It's a fantastic idea and the implementation is great.
