In plain words
HN Rank is a Chrome extension that displays how many times a website has been upvoted on Hacker News. When visiting a page, users can see if it's been submitted to Hacker News and view its upvote count. The extension allows quick access to comments on the platform, which the creator considers particularly valuable. If a page hasn't been submitted yet, users can submit it directly through the extension.

Chrome extension that shows how many times a website has been upvoted on Hacker News. Allows you to quickly see, if the current URL you're visiting has ever been submitted to HackerNews. If it was - you see the number of upvotes and can quickly go and read the comments by clicking the icon. Which, we think, is the most valuable feature, since the comments at HN are at times more thoughtful and interesting than the actual content. If the current page has NOT been submitted to hackernews, you can do that by clicking the very same extensionfrom jitbit.com

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.

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…
