- DanielRibeiro 15y ago
  The list is becoming more of a reflect of HNSearch outputs[1][2]. The idea is that there are many cool stuff hacker news members did that we are not generally aware of (but hidden on the user's bios), and we can showcase them. This is not 1000memories[3], but I find it nice that we can live forever through our creations. On the other hand, this is a reflect of community, and if it decides it is no longer appropriate to list the members who left us, I'll respect it.

Very nice, I like the clean design. One suggestion: auto-loading when you hit the bottom of the page.
- sp332 15y ago
  But then you'd have to move all the bottom navigation to the top (or side) or you'd never be able to see them :)
tokenadult 15y ago
Do the users get to submit updates to the descriptions? Do they get to delete their descriptions if they would rather not be listed? Is there are a particular reason why some users on the current Hacker News leaderboard http://news.ycombinator.com/leaders http://news.ycombinator.com/leaders appear not to be on your interesting and informative site? After edit: I see at the bottom of the display it says "powered by HNSearch API," which makes me wonder why the listing wouldn't be exhaustive and perfectly ordered by karma. Please let us know what technical (and social) trade-offs you are encountering in this interesting project.
- veyron 15y ago
  I only see the leaders link on the top bar when I am in the leaders page. There are other magic pages like new poll. Is there some comprehensive list?
  - JarekS 15y ago
    Yes - on the bottom of the page you have a link to Lists - http://news.ycombinator.com/lists http://news.ycombinator.com/lists
- DanielRibeiro 15y ago
  Hi. Thanks for noticing. The reason is that standard Hacker News profiles don't have photos or real names. Therefore I focused on the 1000 Hacker News profiles that have such data (by stating their twitter profiles). Notice that HNSearch API limits the amount of responses to 1000, but this has nothing to do with the current limit (you can hack this limit by sorting ascending and descending). But the limit was not reached, so I did not need to cheat. Twitter profiles were focused as not many people mention their github/facebook/stackoverflow profiles. The reason why the list is similar to the leaderboard is because data is sorted by who has the most karma.
  - Locke1689 15y ago
    Interesting... it seems you must have some other criteria because my (admittedly woefully outdated) profile lists my (admittedly neglected) Twitter account, but I don't see myself on there. ~5000 karma should put me only a couple pages in.
    - veyron 15y ago
      No its because he's using HN search. I would venture to guess that most of your karma is driven by comments, for which HNS records as 1 karma (comment karma is hidden, so HNS can't get that info and assumes 1 )
      - 15y ago
noodle 15y ago
so, what are the criteria for the list? doesn't quite correlate with the leaders list. is it based on comment only score?
- DanielRibeiro 15y ago
  Look above for more info on how the list was crafted: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3117846 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3117846
maxklein 15y ago
Shouldn't you filter the ones that don't have a real photo? Seeing the photo of the person makes them seem real and personable...those pure avatar ones to me feels like one is just looking at the HN username.
- pyre 15y ago
  Looks like it's mostly just based on a Twitter account in the profile, so I would assume that those are Twitter proflie icons.
  - DanielRibeiro 15y ago
    You are right pyre. I am considering adding people with gihub/stackoverflow/facebook profiles as well.

I like the idea, but there is a lot of scrolling and [More] clicking going on. Would love to see an easier navigation option. Also just out of curiosity: What is the current minimum kama level required to get into the top 1000?
rayhano 15y ago
Awesome! When you get a chance to develop this out, would be great to have: embedded twitter follow buttons autoload further users when scrolling reaches close to the bottom look-through AJAX box for their recent posts/comments Thanks and great job Rayhan http://rayhano.com http://rayhano.com

  It is a viewport meta tag. Sorry that the page doesn't work great on iphone. I am working on making the layout scale, and the page leaner for iphone. My nexus S views it just fine, but even it could use a better page.
  - palish 15y ago
    No no.. We don't need a "lean" iPhone layout. The iPhone is designed to view webpages. So make it a standard webpage. No special casing. =) But... Really, just strip out the meta stuff for now. It's unusable on iPhone at the moment.
    - DanielRibeiro 15y ago
      Ok. I've uploaded a new verion without viewport and without the overlay for mobile phones. Let me know how it works out for you.
      - palish 15y ago

chegra84 15y ago
Need more females. :)
- Mz 15y ago
  I'm female and fairly openly so (and people still sometimes refer to me as "he/him" because they assume I am male, presumably just because it's HN and for no other apparent reason). A lot of the women here seem to intentionally downplay their gender a good deal. On at least one occasion a female member created a throwaway account to explain in part why she hides her gender while posting here. So a) I wonder why you are saying that and b) I wonder how accurate perceptions are in that regard. (FWIW: I am assuming I did not make it onto this list because I don't have a twitter account and I have no idea if I have enough karma for it, which seems to be a factor.)
  - chegra 15y ago
    It was just an glaring observation. I do remember the post about anonymous female members, but I didn't think it was something that was wide spread. Nevertheless, it would be brilliant if we could have more females on here[diversity]. Yea, I was looking for your account too[there is a more button on the bottom of the page]. So, I think maybe it is for people with twitter handles. I appeared twice, maybe trice[didn't reach that far down] with less Karma. What are your suggestions for increasing our female population?
    - Mz 15y ago
      What are your suggestions for increasing our female population? If you are male and want to encourage women to show up and post as openly female, then engage the women in intelligent conversation. Don't gush at them about how great it is to, gee golly whiz, see A GIRL here. Please don't publicly try to hit on any of the women here. You are highly unlikely to get what you are looking for and all it does is make the girls go into hiding because it promotes a predatory atmosphere. I'm sure that could be expanded upon. I'm also sure I'm too tired to do so without getting myself into hot water at the moment (my 24 year old son has vetoed one of my illustrative remarks as a very bad idea <insert halo>). Hopefully, it's a place to start. EDIT: I did see your reply to my reply before you deleted it. If you seriously want more feedback, email me and I will tell you privately what I left out of this post. And thank you for deleting it.
icey 15y ago
heh... I was wondering why I started getting a bunch of beta signups + twitter followers today. I like the highlight effect you have on mouseover, although it kind of feels like something should happen when you click on someone's profile. Perhaps redirect the user to the person's HN profile?
- miles_matthias 15y ago
  Yea I think that would be helpful. Usually if people have a high amount of karma, they have put some time into their profile.
- epaga 15y ago
  Also, minor quibble: if you mouse over and away very quickly 10 times, the highlight effects get queued and the profiles blink.

DanielBMarkham 15y ago
These meta posts -- users sliced and diced by karma, what makes a good rating system, the role of humor (or lack of it) in a successful social site -- always appeal to my inner data nerd. It's got a bit of everything: programming, stats, html5, and, well, me. As a startup junkie, I'm all for anything that brings attention for my various efforts, like http://hn-books.com http://hn-books.com or http://caption-of-the-day.com http://caption-of-the-day.com I'd like to see a live twitter feed of the top HNers, but not just their comments here, also their public posts on FB, G+, and Twitter. To bring the volume down to size, I'd filter out the bottom 90% by karma, then maybe filter again by average. If you really wanted to nerd out, you could even allow the user to have some sliders to set their own thresholds. Seems like it would be an easy project to put together (hint, hint) I'm concerned about privacy in a big way. I know some would find my idea pretty uncomfortable, but I've long since decided that what I put on the net is my public life. I worry a lot more about my insurance company asking me to install tracking GPS devices or my local police force being able to check my ISP logs without judicial review. I'm okay with the things I made public being correlated. It's access to the stuff I feel is private without notice that concerns me a lot.

It's really interesting to see the people and their associated projects, companies, and institutions that contribute to the hn commentary. For a lot of the power users, I recognized their usernames and always sort of connected that to who they were professionally, but this really makes it clear. I'm not sure if this is planned, but I'd guess some of the users wouldn't want the information collected and displayed like that, you might want to add the ability to remove yourself from that listing (so users aren't forced to censor or even delete their profiles).

Looks like a rather nice page linking top-karma users to said users' Twitter profiles. So that's cool, though from the title I was expecting/hoping to learn more about actual people behind (in control of) HN... ie. YCombinator people that actively work and/or moderate and the "About 30 YC alumni" who can "kill stories and edit the titles, and in extreme cases ... ban users."
chopsueyar 15y ago
I don't like this.
alanh 15y ago
I’m not sure why I don’t show up here, even after clicking “more” enough times. I’m seeing users ordered by karma, but I’m not in the list of users with karma ≥ 3881. My karma has been higher than that for … maybe half a year. Edit: I see, I have to list my Twitter username in my HN bio…
paraschopra 15y ago
The list doesn't seem exhaustive. For example, where am I? :)
- DanielRibeiro 15y ago
  At the moment you have to list your twitter name in your profile. Things like twitter: @name or even direct link like http://twitter.com/#!/name http://twitter.com/#!/name are all fine.
iuguy 15y ago
Interesting. I've noticed that I don't show up on there (not that I mind). Wonder why that might be.

I don't like this.

I’m not sure why I don’t show up here, even after clicking “more” enough times. I’m seeing users ordered by karma, but I’m not in the list of users with karma ≥ 3881. My karma has been higher than that for … maybe half a year. Edit: I see, I have to list my Twitter username in my HN bio…

The list doesn't seem exhaustive. For example, where am I? :)

At the moment you have to list your twitter name in your profile. Things like twitter: @name or even direct link like http://twitter.com/#!/name http://twitter.com/#!/name are all fine.

Interesting. I've noticed that I don't show up on there (not that I mind). Wonder why that might be.
