I got tired of refreshing HN, so I made it refresh itself

We are all here because we love HN. The site itself, well simple is beautiful. But what if it could feel more alive? What if you no longer had to refresh it several times a day. What if you could just leave the site open and have stories automatically refresh and visually move when rank changes? What if it had a ticker showing new posts alongside the top posts?

I built RNKFlow.com (Rank Flow) to make that happen. Using the official HN API, the site will feel familiar yet different. Leave the site up for a bit and watch the magic happen. Stories move position, new comments are highlighted, top risers stand out, and new stories scroll along the footer.

One of the many cool features... Categories

Only want to see AI or Programming related stories? Select the various filters below the header to see what YOU want to see. The filter you choose also applies to both the top story and the new story ticker feed.

Free tier is just that, free for everyone, no account required. See up to 60 posts at a time, Dark mode available, filter one category at a time. If you choose to sign in, you can save your theme, story view count and row density preferences.

Did I mention the mobile web view looks great?

Pro tier ($5) opens up some cool new features:

Stories - Push beyond the default 60 stories to 500. Never miss a thing. Categories - Select multiple categories at a time. The feed will blend the chosen categories into one feed Alerts - Have a business and want to keep tabs on your domain name? Have a topic that really interests you? All of that and more can be monitored with alerts. Bookmarks - Easily bookmark stories to view later Export - Want to export you bookmarked stories or alerts? CSV and JSON export built in.

Give a try. I really hope you enjoy the experience and would love to hear your feedback.
