Again, just expressing my opinion, but another example would be it would allow custom ranking algorithms like PageRank, TrustRank, etc. And yes, aware of Lobste.rs mod logs, but Lobste.rs is basically dead compared to HN — largely because it’s an HN clone.
This is a website where people post links and other people comment below them. Most front page discussions don't surpass 50 replies. I don't really think we should care so much about this place to the point that we're willing to employ state of the art data analysis tools just to read a blog post and see if someone has critiqued it in the comments
I’d like to build following and alerts for commenters I like here… is it possible on top of this or Algolia?
Annoying how it doesn't show the text or anything for dead items. Is there any way to query this API as if showdead is switched on?
I used to query flagged comments from time to time using the API, just out of some morbid curiosity. It definitely used to work for that; I am not sure if flagged items are in the same class as dead ones, though, or if they have since deliberately eliminated this capability. I eventually found more interesting things to do :)
I'm currently writing an HN posts score tracker (basically it plots score variations over time since they were in new for each popular post) and it's really handy that you can just subscribe with eventsource [0] and get realtime update when something changes without having to manually poll each post wasting resources. Not yet sure about the latency though. [0] https://github.com/jpopesculian/reqwest-eventsource/

This kind of stuff would probably just seed the sort of neuroticism that makes forums worse.
Anyone know of a good tool to get something like push notifications when specific topics come up on HN? I've been thinking maybe I should build one, but I also feel like someone must have already done it by now.
