Credible brings credibility scores directly on Hacker News
Hi HN, This is Aki, a technical founder having previously shipped products to 1B+ people (I launched the heart button on twitter). I built Credible because I wanted a way to know whether something I'm about to read would be worth my time. I also got tired of context-switching to verify what I read. Credible is a Chrome extension that displays instant credibility scores directly into the pages you browse, including HN itself. ** How it works ** On HN Home: You see a credibility score next to each link.

In plain words
Credible is a Chrome extension that displays credibility scores and analysis directly on web pages, including Hacker News. It shows users a quick score next to each link and provides detailed breakdowns of articles' key takeaways, bias detection, and claim categorization without leaving the page. The tool helps readers assess whether content is worth their time and eliminates the need to switch between tabs to verify information.

Hi HN, This is Aki, a technical founder having previously shipped products to 1B+ people (I launched the heart button on twitter). I built Credible because I wanted a way to know whether something I'm about to read would be worth my time. I also got tired of context-switching to verify what I read. Credible is a Chrome extension that displays instant credibility scores directly into the pages you browse, including HN itself. ** How it works ** On HN Home: You see a credibility score next to each link. On HN Comments page: You see the full analysis of the linked article. This includes the linked article's key takeaways, credibility score, bias detection, and a breakdown of claims (facts vs opinions vs dubious) without leaving the page. They also show on our mobile-friendly feed here: https://mycredible.ai/feeds/hacker-news Chrome Web Store: https://mycredible.ai/chrome We will have a major focus next year on shipping tools that utilize AI to make consumption a breeze. As we design that, would love to know: Is this scoring & UX useful for you? What would make it even better?

Hello HN! TLDR; - Quality News is a Hacker News client that provides additional data and insights on submissions, notably, the upvoteRate metric. - We propose that this metric could be used to improve the Hacker News ranking score. - In-depth explanation: https://github.com/social-protocols/news#readme The Hacker News ranking score is directly proportional to upvotes, which is a problem because it creates a feedback loop: higher rank leads to more upvotes leads to higher rank, and so on... → ↗ ↘ Higher Rank More Upvotes ↖ ↙ ← As a consequence, success on HN depends almost…
- MRMy recommendation engine for Hacker News2023 · hn-recommend.julienc.me · ▲314
Hi! I’m Julien and I built a recommendation engine for Hacker News. I feel like this website is a gold mine. Every day, I find some very interesting stories about a topic. And sometimes, I want to find other stories covering that same topic but I can’t. Hacker News has years of history of awesome discussion and ressources. Unfortunately, I think HN Algolia isn’t helpful in searching these old threads. As a student, I want to learn a lot from this website. This is why I created HN Recommend. Input a sentence or the URL of an article, and get the most popular and similar posts from Hacker…
- HNHacker News Outliers2024 · hn.moritz.pm · ▲147
I made a little website with a server that collects only HN submissions with > 500 upvotes chronologically. https://hn.moritz.pm/ It's quite simple because I wanted to learn from the project. But I think it's useful, to get a summary of what was important over the last days. The UI is almost identical to the HN frontpage, you can click on the comments to view the thread and on the username to see the profile. The rest of the cards takes you to the submitted URL.
- FHFake Hacker News – See what HN has to say before you post2023 · fakehn.com · ▲107
Hi HN! I’ve been lurking for a while, but out of fear of being steamrolled by HN readers or maybe just natural introversion, I’ve always been too scared to post or comment. Which is why 1. this is my first real Hacker News submission 2. my friend Michael and I built "Fake" Hacker News, a place to post and see what AI-generated HN comments might say. Here’s a video of me using fakeHN to test this very submission: https://www.loom.com/share/4b9f4f9d7c77489a86baeb92ec55a1ed?... And an example of one of our generated posts:…
- HNHacker News user experience enhancement browser extension2023 · carina.app · ▲153
Hello everyone! This is a browser extension that attempts to enhance Hacker News user experience, while your data is kept secure, and private (never leaves the browser). Browsers have evolved significantly since doing a v1 back in 2010, which was one of the contributing factors, for attempting a complete re-take few months ago. Personally, I was surprised how useful it turned out to be when browsing around HN. On the linked page you can find install link(s) from web-browser stores, and demo video/screenshots of the features[1] What do you think ? [1] including, browsing content with…

Community, All the HN belong to you. This is an archive of hacker news that fits in your browser. When I made HN Made of Primes I realized I could probably do this offline sqlite/wasm thing with the whole GBs of archive. The whole dataset. So I tried it, and this is it. Have Hacker News on your device. Go to this repo (https://github.com/DOSAYGO-STUDIO/HackerBook): you can download it. Big Query -> ETL -> npx serve docs - that's it. 20 years of HN arguments and beauty, can be yours forever. So they'll never die. Ever. It's the unkillable static archive of HN and it's…
