Bangermeter Analyze X's Algo & Win

What it does

What is Bangermeter? A free Chrome extension that badges every post in your X feed with what the open-sourced ranking formula would make of it, using the last weight values X published. The formula skeleton is verified against X's 2026 open-source release. Outputs are relative scores, and the tool says so on every screen. It does not predict reach. Zero network requests, zero data collected, no account. It all runs in your browser. 33/33 self-tests in the open repo.

X published its real production ranking weights on Aug 13, 2026. Bangermeter scores every post in your feed with them. Free, open source, runs locally.

Bangermeter is a free Chrome extension. It puts a 0 to 100 score on every post in your X feed, and on your draft while you write it, using the real production weights X published on August 13, 2026, re-checked against X's source as of September 18, 2026. Every factor is cited to the line of source code. No folklore, no data collection, no server. As you scroll x.com, each post gets a badge with up to two 0 to 100 scores (50 = a typical median post). C is Content Appeal: what the algorithm would predict from the content alone. E is Earned Engagement: how X's weights value what the post actually earned per view. A ~ marks low-view posts where rates are statistically smoothed. Big score chips,…from ryanlenk.com

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  Clipto MCP▲655

  Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones▲627

  Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
