InfluxDB
Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
Timbo’s “Hacker News” Reader (THNR) ingests the story feeds of HN’s news, new, best, classic, and active story feeds and displays the stories with thumbnail images from the linked article plus creature comforts like the estimated reading time, the name or handle of the article’s author, the percentages of programming languages (for GitHub links), a preview of first page of PDFs along with total PDF page count, and more. My aim in surfacing all this metadata from the linked articles was to help me find those stories I want to read, and I think it’ll serve that purpose for others too.
The comments link for each story goes straight to HN’s regular comments page for each story if you want to read or make comments.
