Gnod News: Search Hacker News and Reddit Comments
- no_gravity 12y agoI'm doing a social search engine. Won't be big and professional like Google. This has been brewing for a while, and is starting to get ready. I'd like any feedback on things people like/dislike in it :) Are there any other social search engines that draw from multiple sources? I know there are services like mention.com, but I wanted something where you do not have to sign up and can just search right away.
- bhaumik 12y agoLove how clean this is. Feature request: Quora mentions! At that point, I'd probably want to be able to sort by medium.
- no_gravity 12y agoI would add Quora if I had access to their data. They have no public API. Anybody from Quora listening?
- DanielBMarkham 12y agoNeat! Now you just have to add voting.... :) Sidebar: I did something similar many years ago. I was doing a hacker news book site (books hackers talk about). I wanted to include every time the book was talked about, but I didn't want to run code or update stuff. The entire site was static. I found out you can determine the "buzz" for something just using Google Search and some code. Check out this page: http://www.hn-books.com/Books/Slaughterhouse-Five.htm#the_buzz http://www.hn-books.com/Books/Slaughterhouse-Five.htm#the_bu... This allowed me to write reviews, do interviews, and also present whatever folks were saying about a book -- without having to write server code or even maintain a server. Love to see how this continues to develop. Lots of potential here.
- robinhoodexe 12y agoNice. I'd like to use regexp in the search, or some other kind of advanced parameters. For example, I searched for "latex" and got no results from the document preparation system LaTeX.
- no_gravity 12y agoThere is already a bit of advanced syntax. Any use of quotation marks will enable it. For example, is you search for... latex "donald knuth" That will search for any comment that has latex anywhere in the text and donald and knuth next to each other. So you could trigger the advanced syntax by putting latex in quotes and search for any commment that contains latex and text anywhere in the comment: "latex" text
- aaronem 12y agoIt's "cogwheel", and your dong is backward -- very 4chan, that. (I'd have something more substantive to say, only the "cogweels" seem to be grinding teeth off one another at the moment, so there's not much I can do.)
- no_gravity 12y agoThanks, fixed the wheels. If you get the wheels message, just reload the page.
- runeks 12y agoShameless plug (and relevant to the topic), I run the site http://redditcommentsearch.com http://redditcommentsearch.com which allows searching through the comments of a particular user on reddit. I created this site because I often needed to search through my own comment history, to find old debates that I want to revisit.
- clamprecht 12y agoThis is useful, thanks.
- meatcar 12y agoLooks good, and works good too! It would be nice to see if a particular item is from reddit or hackernews, and maybe what section or subreddit. And perhaps the number of other comments in that thread?
- tgallant 12y agohey, i made something like that! http://stats.timgallant.us/ http://stats.timgallant.us/
- no_gravity 12y agoI'm a bit hesitant to throw all that on the screen as it would clutter the interface. Maybe display it on mouseover?
- nathanm412 12y agoI really appreciate the sentiment of this comment. It shows that whatever does end up making it to the screen should be pretty well thought out.
- untilHellbanned 12y agohttps://karmalytics.co/ https://karmalytics.co/ is somewhat similar.
- grimtrigger 12y agoYup except with keyword tracking. Found this comment b/c I have an alert set up for "karmalytics"
