    Quality News - Towards a fairer ranking formula for Hacker News (by social-protocols)

    • Yesterday, we published our approach to improve the HN ranking algorithm: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35183317

    As a follow-up, we'd like to ask if the community is interested in official experiments with this or similar approaches. We'd suggest having a second, experimental front-page on HN, which applies the upoteRate metric to the HN formula, as described here: https://github.com/social-protocols/news#a-proposed-new-formula

    To get a feeling, how stories with a high upvoteRate look like, we prepared a page, where all frontpage stories are sorted by upvoteRate: https://news.social-protocols.org/best-upvoterate.
