Apply HN: Elfinite โ directory of wonderful links
Full text: https://goo.gl/4gxRmd
PROBLEM:
We are flooded with content and staying up-to-date with topic we are interested in is getting really hard.
I am extremely interested in design. There is no single website that I can visit to stay completely up-to-date with design.
I need to visit dribbble, behance to see which graphics are the most voted for today = what are the current trends. I need to visit designernews.com, reddit.com to see what are the most voted articles about design. Then I should go to sidebar.io and check out the links there, and finally I also should visit medium.com to check what are the trending design articles today.
It may take an hour or more to do all this but only then can I be sure that I am truly up-to-date with design.
SOLUTION:
With Elfinite we want to significantly reduce the time we have to spend to stay up-to-date with the topics that matter to us.
Elfinite continually collects links from the most popular online content providers (i.e. YouTube, HN, NYT) and checks the number of shares (total number of likes + shares + comments) on fb.
Finally, it rates each link by applying our algorithm (publishing time + growth number + number of shares ). The highest rated links are then published on the main page in the appropriate category.
ABOUT US:
There are two people working on this project right now. I am the programming guy, and @brtkbrtk is responsible for product management.
WHY WE ARE APPLYING:
First, we need money for AWS and marketing. Second, it would be great to learn more from folks who have built great tech businesses.
