News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

A comment on Show HN: Best of Show HN.

It would be cool to make a topic-specific Hackernews shin ranked by hotness for that topic. It’d be cool to focus in on topics I care about, not everything in Hackernews universe.

My theory is “What’s hot in Elasticsearch” would seem to be better answered with hacker news than a subreddit...

(Hackernews Search is only sortable by date or votes, neither of which gets at hotness)

I guess https://hnmail.io could be what you wanted, but without “hotness”.

Some combination of time and votes where recent highly voted stuff comes first, but honestly I don’t know. It’s probably a formula that needs to be tweaked to what looks right
