Very nice idea, have subscribed.
200 for a score is much too high. Every post except one in the front page of HN has under 120, with the majority of them under 20.
For example, this submission has a score of 15 (at time of writing this comment, which was 5 hours after post submission)
- T-hawk 12y agoPoint counts vary by time. Weekends such as today see less traffic and upvotes. The threshold you might really want is upvotes as a percentage of readership, but it's not clear whether that data is available or whether the functionality is trying to be in scope for this.
- austenallred 12y agoAgreed. If I want the stories that score 200+ I'll just use the front page. But when someone posted my company on hn it was on the front page for a few hours before I found out about it. Likewise, I want to know anytime someone posts something about me, my company, and a couple competitors. Those posts rarely (if ever) hit 200. I would probably use a threshold of about 10. Not sure if that high of a threshold makes your tech possible, but it's a deal breaker for me.
