Really like the design and agree that the idea serves a purpose. Must be really discouraging to brave the Show HN and have it fall flat.

Wondered if maybe having the list for today, then perhaps some other recent options in a slimmer format either beside or below?

Nice work though!

Sorry but, did you really had to use HH? I'm German and that only rings my right extremists alarm bells, because they use that for "Heil Hitler" (fuck them and him) for generations.

That's a personal problem. You could try reprogramming your brain to associate it with Helly Hansen or Hansestadt Hamburg (where HH is the license plate).

If anything, you should be grateful to see other people use "HH" for things completely and utterly unrelated to extremists.

Looks great. Can you tell us how you built it? I'm most interested in automatic categorization of submitted articles.

Hey, thanks! It's a bit of deep learning magic combined with a few days of manual labor tagging the training set :) The classifier itself is an LSTM and runs on TensorFlow. As said, this is a proof of concept so we'll try to improve it over time.

I like how Hackerhunt is the most popular item on Hackerhunt: http://i.imgur.com/68OeJ94.jpg

You might get fined by EU for this practice ;) [1] http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-17-1784_en.htm

Actually, you can only be fined by the EU if you have a dominant position in the market you are using to promote your service. The goal is to avoid monopolies jumping from one market to the other (which is particularly easy to do in tech). "Good" monopolistic companies may benefit the customer in the short term, but proper competition benefits everyone in the long term.

I know it was just a joke, but it really doesn't apply to this case.

How are the topics assigned? Two Show HN posts I have posted recently (that are Open-Source and Javascript) don't have the relevant tags attached and I can't see a way of attaching them.

The tags are added fully automatic and there is no option to add tags manually for now. That being said, we really want to make the tagging algorithm better, so hit me at human@finch.io with your case.
