Hacker News Clone - CLI Version
The MVP of this project is a clone of https://news.ycombinator.com but in CLI.
A user should be able to:
- read a list of articles in the database from the command line
- create a new story by posting a link and a title
- vote up or down on a story
voting
registration
required to comment (?)
search
by popularity, date. I find it effective.
threaded collapsible comments
- All threads threaded and collapsible. maxed by default. each can be minimized individually, collapsing all contained comments.
- main threads sorted by quality, replies chronological (?),
- poor quality comments remain visible but dimmed according to how downvoted
user karma
- users have karma
- user post/comment history can be seen by clicking on their profile.
voting
regiistration required min karma required for downvoting (comments only?)
sort algorithms (see note below)
- posts sorted by ratio of upvotes / newness / user karma / voodoo
user control of search / sort options
- users can view HN sorted view, chrono posts, chrono comments, (?)
'dead' (shadowbanned) profiles
These are profiles where the user doesn't know they are 'shadowbanned', so they continue to post but can't tell that no one else can see it.
- explicit rules and culture to encourage / discourage certain content
