What determines that a story would get aggregated by the site? And what determines the passage selected? (Am curious if it's crowdsourced, curated, algo-driven, machine-learned, etc.)
- storylike 14y agoRight now i select the quote myself. I read the post and try to find the best quote to serve as a introduction to the story. I have rating system in place on a scale of 1-10 but i didn't give all the stories a rating yet. I want to crowdsource the ratings in the future, it's on the list of things to add.
- binarysolo 14y agoGrats on the simplicity of the site and repository of good stories. I think as a portfolio piece it's very serviceable. As for growing the site itself, I think you'd need to somehow provide some unique-ish value prop to differentiate yourself from yet-another-social-discovery/bookmarking-service, in more than a "StumbleUpon for HN articles" kinda way. Good luck!
- storylike 14y agoThanks for the feedback, yes it's not easy to grow the site but i hope it will at least help me find a job if I add it to my cv.
