* 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.
