A client-side Bayes classifier for Hacker News

In plain words

A client-side Bayes classifier that learns to filter Hacker News stories based on user preferences. The tool runs in the browser and trains itself on articles the user marks as interesting or uninteresting, then predicts relevance for new submissions. It's designed for Hacker News readers who want to personalize their feed without relying on server-side processing or accounts.

  Favicon alert bubbles▲271

  A javascript library that allows easy manipulation of the favicon to include nice looking alert bubbles. This means that users can pin your site and still see when their attention is needed!

This library also falls back to the standard number in page title approach for browsers that do no support canvas / dynamic favicons. Thoughts welcome.
