HN Rank – live Hacker News ranks for top stories
Hi HN, I built a microsite that live-tracks the top Hacker News stories and estimates their ranks based on publicly available info. It can help one find the best time to post on HN by showing how much competition there is for the top positions in real-time. The rank calculation formula is based on the following: - Paul Graham's comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1781013 - Ken Shirriff's blog post: https://www.righto.com/2009/06/how-does-newsyc-ranking-work.... The positions implied by the calculated rank and the actual positions often don't…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Hi HN, I built a microsite that live-tracks the top Hacker News stories and estimates their ranks based on publicly available info. It can help one find the best time to post on HN by showing how much competition there is for the top positions in real-time. The rank calculation formula is based on the following: - Paul Graham's comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1781013 - Ken Shirriff's blog post: https://www.righto.com/2009/06/how-does-newsyc-ranking-work.... The positions implied by the calculated rank and the actual positions often don't match exactly because not all required info is public and because the formula is likely out-of-date. If you know how I can make it more accurate, please let me know. The root mean square error (RMSE) between the implied and actual positions for the data so far is around 2.46. Running a brute-force to find better constants only gave a 3% improvement. Now, let's see if we get some HN inception: an HN post about HN Rank shown on HN Rank itself. Best, Rok

all alternatives →- HRHN Recap - Daily, ranked list of articles that hit the front page2010 · ▲10
Hey guys, I just flicked the switch on http://hnrecap.com and thought I would make a tiny announcement! The site was created for a simple reason: There is a big rotation of articles on the front page of Hacker News every day, and unless you are on here 24/7, you are bound to miss some great content and discussions. I was tired of this and the rss feed doesn't cut it for me since it doesn't preserve ranking information over time. On HN Recap, rankings are somewhat preserved: Every 2 minutes, I request the HN front page, update articles and attribute points in the following simple fashion: #1…
- SHShow HN my Hackathon Project: Visual Craigslist w/ HN's algorithm2011 · 5thavenue.chartboost.com · ▲42
The concept was to rethink the way we browsed Craigslist and shopped online. The main section, the "homepage" is a tree map of recent craigslist posting sorted by popularity using a slightly modified version of Hacker News' ranking algorithm. The newest page is a masonry view of the realtime stream of the craiglist posts as they are added to the system (much like Hacker News' newest page.) The top page is the masonry view version of the homepage. The game page is a FaceMash-like game for the posts, which influences the overall scores and popularity of items.
- HNHacker News with categories and popularity2014 · newshack.io · ▲149
Did you want to know topics of the news or popularity of posts? "Hacker News Hack" helps you to find news based on some categories and importance or popularity. It tagged news with 9 categories with a natural language processing technology and supervised learning for categorizing news. It also calculates a speed of number of comments in each posts as popularity based on term, that is 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, or 1 year.

Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…
