It's a good problem to have. :) Having multiple projects that pick up and start competing for your time is much better than the more likely outcome that none of them takes off. If you start to have too many successful websites that you feel

I have trouble seeing why maps.google is such a meaningful step from maps.google.com. Less to type... Maybe non-technical users who never understood why the hell everything ended with ".com" will be more comfortable. Reminds me of when the

Context: bitovod created a site which aggregates the "Best of _____" for any user on Hacker News ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2661941 ). After he added a feature to make queries linkable, we can now compile a "Best of" list for all

Impressive turnaround! :) This is also good for your site. You'll get more links now because people can link to the particular things they're interested in rather than just the homepage.

YMMV. I wish they made their other interface (i.e. in-browser editor) more accessible. Even after 100 times, I found it counter-intuitive and irritating that clicking "New Post" on my site would launch my email client instead of their edito

If you're the type who will like to tinker with your site, WordPress is unmatched. Get hosting, install it and start exploring its incredible ecosystem of themes and plugins.

Nice job! Feature request: Make the queries linkable. I think people would appreciate being able to have permalinks for themselves or HN leaders like tptacek, patio11 and jacquesm. It would also be very interesting to see how the results fo

Pretty sure he means the reboot, but I would enjoy seeing both. :)

Really cool concept. :) Doesn't every sequence of numbers sound fairly tonal on the Les Paul logo though, since it's restricted to diatonic pitches?

Ah, thanks for exposing the keyboard interface! You equipped me for this rendition of "Chopsticks": http://goo.gl/doodle/uAEhv I made 9 takes trying to make the two parts sync as well as possible and to move at a good tempo. This is my be

Kartik is happy to contribute his crawler, but wonders if it wouldn't be easiest to reuse the HNSearch crawler (since both forums have the same structure). http://arclanguage.org/item?id=14774

Thank you, Andres. I put up a message about it on the Arc Forum as well: http://arclanguage.org/item?id=14772 . Please email me at evanrmurphy@gmail.com if you need assistance.

by evanrmurphy 15y ago
That would be amazing! I think there have been at least a couple crawlers written for it. (One being SearchYC's.) I'll let you know when I find something more concrete. Is there anything else that would help make the ThriftDB setup go more

Should be faster for the developer and also good for HN's servers to not have so many independent apps scraping the forum.

What makes the monitor "hacker-optimized"?

by evanrmurphy 15y ago
It's interesting in general how Arc Forum lags behind Hacker News in features. Visiting there is a sort of time warp: in addition to there being no search bar or notifo, karma points are still visible on comments. Edit: Added notifo point

I agree, but where would you fit it in? I'm trying to figure that out as well.

Do you typically browse with JavaScript disabled? I would think that these days it would seriously change the browsing experience and many sites would be unusable. Just curious. :)

If this is successful, will you consider running a similar contest for Arc Forum? http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2620297 Edit: Fixed link to have correct URL. Sorry for the mistake.
