I want feeds and an API in s-expression format.
- pg 18y agoFeeds of what?
- sprice 18y agoFeeds of comments would be nice.
- jraines 18y agoHow about submissions over a certain # of upvotes. That way you'd have your own custom "Best of"
- ivankirigin 18y agoYou should hook in a disqus API (if it exists) or roll your own email notifications of a replies to comments. You'll find people are more cordial when they are responding to a comment via email. It makes people think to be more professional. That's a feed, but per instance, per user. More powerful, imho. Backtype already gets of feed of my news.YC comments. I see them in friendfeed, but not the replies. You should talk to Paul Buchheit about SUP too http://code.google.com/p/simpleupdateprotocol/ http://code.google.com/p/simpleupdateprotocol/
- wheels 18y agoAn API would be great for HN since it would allow the community to do all of the sorts of things that it's interested in around rather than on HN. It'd be the ultimate meta-customization. :-) Here's how I would break it down: - List of [top / newest] topics - Number of points - Time submitted - Sumitter - Upvote / downvote calls - List of comments - Submitter - Text - Points - Upvote / downvote calls - User - Description - Comments - Points And then let the mashups flourish. It would seem fitting for HN. I'd be interested enough that I'd do a patch for such if there were a reasonable chance of it being integrated. I personally would really dig being able to see who upvoted what since that would let me do the magic that's my specialty and be able to organize top stories personally based on my a users upvoting patterns, but I suspect that might be undesirable for reason of keeping things anonymous.
