Did you want to know topics of the news or popularity of posts? "Hacker News Hack" helps you to find news based on some categories and importance or popularity.

It tagged news with 9 categories with a natural language processing technology and supervised learning for categorizing news.

It also calculates a speed of number of comments in each posts as popularity based on term, that is 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, or 1 year.

That's really interesting. Will you open-source the NLP algorithm?

Pretty neat!

FYI: I just noticed your time calculations aren't working. Search for "item.time_str" on your indexes.

This is interesting. But it's not quite sync with the News on the first page. What do you sort by? If it works well, I'd like to use it.

Looks awful on mobile would be great if you could make it responsive.

This is super useful!

I have been forcing myself off HN lately. One thing that I miss the most due to this is the SHOW:HNs of really cool products and hacks that hit the front page. This gives me a great month-to-month access to those great stories at one place.

Bookmarked!
