I need to build an Hacker news website in Ruby? (Obviously not about Hacking. I just need a similar upvote algorithm)

I bookmarked these articles when I was trying to search for algorithms to implement in a news website that I wanted to develop as a side project. But I haven't taken a closer look at them yet. Hope these help.

This might be a good start. Doesn't really take time into account, but I don't see that part being too hard to add.
