I’ve built a lot of tools utilizing web scraping most recently https://GitHub.com/Jawerty/myAlgorithm and https://metaheads.xyz I think the more control you have over the tools the better if you know your w

Hi HN! Since I posted the Chrome version last week I got some good feedback both here and on the discord https://discord.gg/YmVzHUNfYd . Most feedback was wanting to have more control over the content sources and also a fire

I like this idea, and having comment sections as well. However, networking it would involve some sort of centralized server (peer to peer as a possibility). This would have to be a clear opt in sort of feature to address privacy issues with

Couldn’t of said it better myself also another reason why it’s open source always the option to take the code directly and load it into your chromium browser.

I don't know what Tiktok does personally but I would guess there is something to do with comment engagements like most recommendation algorithms we use. From viewing to liking to commenting.

That's really interesting. In general indexing with this is something I havent thought too much about. What would you like about a tool like this?

I absolutely will!

Yes you give the extension permission to store the data in the browser using `chrome.storage` API. Also, part of the reason why I open sourced it is so you could see the implementation in case of any privacy concerns.

Yes 100% i'm working on making it so you can add sources you want. Also going to most likely add the ones you mentioned as default sources. Also I didn't think about your 2nd point but I like it going to add to my todo list

I personally wouldn't consider Gab far right but I certainly respect your opinion there. What are some sources you'd want in a tool like this? Next iteration i want to add Hacker News but also make it extensible so you can add sit

Yea I’ve had this as well. I made a tool like this specifically for YouTube 2 years ago and almost gave up on it because I kept going back to the regular algorithm. Here I tried addressing that by pruning the algorithm more for discoverabil

Thank you For the point. I’ve tried to mix up the sources with alternative media and there’s a 33% of randomness (still with engagement but all engagement not just what you have frequency with) I could try seeing how to experiment with addi

Thanks! For this implementation I don’t think it would be too hard since I'm using pretty basic features I would have to rewrite some of the message handling. However, chromes new manifest v3 would make it harder.

Thank you for the words and for sharing. The excerpts into thumbnails idea is cool I like the concept of having a library where the cover is the first sentence of the first page or something like that.

lmk if you're interested in the tech behind it. It's for my personal use now but could also release it if people are interested. I call it myAlgorithm.

Personally, I created a chrome extension for myself where I track my own behavior locally and recommend myself content from sites i like (youtube/twitter/quora/etc) in a feed. Would rather have control over my own algorithm a

The matching works well I'll be using this to source jobs in the future especially if I can just get a weekly email.

Why start at the infrastructure level? The first iteration of Facebook was a hacked together php app. It feels like a lot of these Web3 attempts are more about trying to do something "big" than actually provide value first.
