Hacker News Reader

How are these collected and ranked?

Anyone can sign up and share example prompts, whether it's one they came up with or one they saw online (in which case they can give the source credit).

The submissions are then ranked the exact same way HackerNews articles are ranked on the homepage, following this algorithm: https://medium.com/hacking-and-gonzo/how-hacker-news-ranking... - in short, it's based on how many votes the prompt has received and how long since it was posted.

Sign up with Google only. Reminds me of some thread in the comments of this other post today.

I'll likely add email-based sign up at some point, but it increases the likelihood of spam compared to allowing Google OAuth only, so it made more sense for this v1 to exclude it until I set up more moderation capabilities.

How about GitHub? I refuse to use Google to sign into anything except Google.
