Re:Show HN: Updates to Quality News, Our Alternative HN UI by jwarden on Thursday February 13, 2025 @06:07AM (#43034773)
Hi HN

I thought I'd announce some updates to Quality News, our alternative HN client:

1. Retention of Story Stats Charts

Story Stats/Charts pages (example: https://news.social-protocols.org/stats?id=42802210) no longer 404 after 30 days.

We notice that people on HN were sometimes sharing links to these pages (example: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...), and we felt guilty when those links would break. So we now keep story stats pages indefinitely.

2. New Ranking Algorithms

We've implemented some new ranking algorithms at https://news.social-protocols.org/algorithms

For example, https://news.social-protocols.org/penalties shows stories that have probably been penalized by HN moderators, and https://news.social-protocols.org/resubmissions shows stories that have been randomly selected from the second-chance pool (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308) and added to the front page.

Enjoy!
