Show HN: Filter and read Hacker News by category
- markild 11y agoDirect link: http://hackernews.demos.monkeylearn.com/ http://hackernews.demos.monkeylearn.com/ Personally, I don't really see a reason for the chart. It would be nice to have a way to disable it.
- feconroses 11y agoGreat idea! We will add a way to disable the chart today! Will let you know when its ready
- feconroses 11y agoDone! We added a button to hide / show the chart. It will remember your settings for future sessions.
- keypusher 11y agoYou reinvented subreddits.
- res0nat0r 11y agoThis would be fantastic if there was just a filter to hide all of the political posts here yet still show everything else.
- feconroses 11y agoFantastic idea! Will implement this today too! Will let you know when its ready :)
- res0nat0r 11y agoAwesome :]
- eevilspock 11y agoI would like the opposite. So many things wrong, so much injustice in the world, so many with power and privilege closing their eyes to it. Cognitive dissonance may be great for individual well-being, but it sucks for humanity.
- feconroses 11y agoAny ideas on how to make My Hacker News better? Please let us know!
- onion2k 11y agoI found that I disagree with about 25% of the categorisations.
- feconroses 11y agoWe agree with you that there is room for improvement. We can make it more accurate by adding more training samples to the MonkeyLearn classifier. We plan to keep working on this to make it better.
- mhomde 11y agoIt's reassuring to see that HN has had ten design articles... ever :)
- eudox 11y agoIt has a limited time range.
- dkubb 11y agoWould it be possible to add RSS feeds for each category page? I currently read HN via an RSS reader and filter out any articles with less than 10 points. I would much rather filter out categories I don't care too much about.
- feconroses 11y agoCool idea! We will work on adding RSS feeds for each category page. Probably between today and tomorrow we will have it ready. Will let you know :)
- feconroses 11y agoDone! We added RSS feeds for each category. You can see the different feeds at the right of each category. For example programming feed: http://hackernews.demos.monkeylearn.com/feed.xml?c=programming http://hackernews.demos.monkeylearn.com/feed.xml?c=programmi...
- larvaetron 11y agoOne category has a typo: 'entertaiment'
- feconroses 11y agoThanks! Will fix it!

- primaryobjects 11y agoJust curious, why did you decide to use a supervised learning approach for this? You're hard-coding the categories in this manner. You could try using clustering instead (K-means) to group the posts together into their own categories. This is similar to a "trending topics" approach, where the categories could change each day.
- iamwil 11y agoWhat is the X-axis in the graph?
- feconroses 11y agoThe X-axis is the hour of the day. The graph is to see which categories are the most popular today, according to the hour published. We have added this legend to the graph.
- yellowapple 11y agoI'd like to be able to select multiple categories (for example, "programming" AND "science" AND "security"). Also, there's no obvious way to indicate an incorrect categorization (like the one about Ripple being fined; that fits better in "business" or even "politics", yet is the top result in "science" right now). If it's machine-learning-based, it's probably much more useful to be continuously learning based on user feedback rather than generating a model and sticking with it forever (especially when the model is visibly inaccurate in some circumstances). Also, the job postings should probably be a separate category instead of being lumped into business.
- superasn 11y agowhat an amazing way to pitch your service! Big thumbs up!
