I would be really happy to know his thoughts.

Yes, this is just a thought experiment, and the ranking algorithm is based on discussions.

> Given that discussions are my favorite part, why don't we apply PageRank for every user based on the upvotes they receive for the comments they leave on any post, and replace the P (points) value in the current version of the HN algorithm?

I think this part of the post answers your question.

> Will I ever publicly write about how HN ranks posts if I am Dang (HN moderator)? No, because Pagerank can be manipulated by people despite its reputation. In fact, Pagerank is being exploited for years. Moreover, there are financial incentives for companies to get on the first page in HN.

I thought about it while writing this post. It would be useful to have a decay factor for PageRank. In simple words, if someone wants to maintain their PR score, they need to actively engage in the HN community.

Author here. Yes, reading time will be a helpful indicator. In fact, I already mentioned this in the post.

> Reading time for the article.

I understand that these results aren't great. I just checked the index for your queries, it's a bit low on these niches, but I am working hard to expand the index.

Whoever it is thanks for posting!

So yeah, I created this software only search engine. Currently, the index size is pretty low. The results might be irrelevant but I will be expanding the index size.

Is this fits your requirement?

I've been building a product search engine that uses only organic indicators to rank products. I just tested with a query "mp3 device player" and the url mentioned above showed up.

What a great article - and the way it's presented is insanely great. It reminds me of a talk given by Bret Victor

Hello HN Founder here,

There is nothing wrong with the way we collaboratively work on documents. We can easily share, save, and discuss ideas without any barriers. Yet, when it comes to web design, we are still using tools that are far from intuitive.

As a result, designers, copywriters, and developers are often not in the same room together this leads, to back and forth lost conversation on slack, defragmented copywriting change and, screenshots full of vague design change requests, it is a nightmare to finalize the live website design within time.

This is the problem we are trying to solve with Graha, it is a real-time visual feedback website collaboration tool that allows users to collaborate on a live website copy, with our no-code CSS editor that allows designers, copywriters, or anyone without a design background to express their design ideas with simple gestures.

We are super excited about helping teams to move at a faster pace.

Love to know your feedback.

>I came here from a news site and they didn't tell me any of this at all!

>Then perhaps you should stop reading that news site, just like they stopped reading this site after the first 2 paragraphs.

This is my most favorite

Not here to promote what I am building(Graha), but I wanted dark mode for hacker news for a very long time been using it like this for a couple of months

Hey Hacker News,

My name is vigneshwarar, I am the creator of EazyCSS, The Simple no-code CSS editor for any website.

🟥 Problem 1:-

Testing new design ideas or delegating a change to designers/developers, for a no-code person with back and forth emails, would cost time and money.

🟥 Problem 2:-

Even from a developer's perspective, using a lot of different sites from a box-shadow generator, picking color code, and switching back and forth from codebase to live preview for pixel changes is time-consuming and less productive.

🟩Solution:-

Simple looking, slider approach to most of the CSS properties where anybody can instantly change the design of a site without a prior CSS Knowledge and get your changes in CSS code.

Features:-

1) Don't Calculate pixel values, select a property and just slide

2) Edit text on the webpage (Hover + press e)

3) Change color or background with our inbuilt color picker

4) If you make a mistake, you can reset changes to default

5) All your design changes will be converted into CSS code

I would love to know your feedback

Hello everyone,

I am Vigneshwarar, I created this tool. I am not sure how many people find this tool useful, I am doing a lot of screen-recording these days and it's hard on many platforms like Loom, VideoAsk, or google meet to show or see your webcam(Your face) while sharing your screen so I made a simple tool which will float your webcam in the picture in picture mode after activating this you can start screen share(Floating cam appears on Entire Screen recording option only) or screen record.

Well If you have any use-cases for using this tool feel free to drop it ill mention that on the site.
