Show HN: Realtime Hacker News RSS feeds (firehose, comments, search, and more)
- MzHN 12y agoDoes anyone know of a feed that has implemented a way to view top comments as part of the feed item summary/content? Maybe with an image (SVG?) or an iframe?
- edavis 12y agoOP here. I don't know of a feed that does this. However, something like that should be relatively simple to build. HN's API (https://hn.algolia.com/api https://hn.algolia.com/api) can access all comments in a post. Should just be a matter of collecting all top-level comments, sorting by points, and sticking the top few into the RSS <description> element. I'll consider adding this as an optional feature in hnrss. Would need to add caching, though, as each feed request would generate 20 separate API requests.
- prohor 12y agoI'm using this reader for HN: http://hckrnews.com/ http://hckrnews.com/ It isn't RSS but converts to a timeline - very convenient to use.
