Digg-style live ranking across HN, arXiv, and Ars without any single feed dominating.

Strengths

•Multi-feed blending algorithm prevents any single source from overpowering the ranking.
•Real-time reordering creates that addictive Digg-era feed movement energy.
•No login required means zero friction to test the ranking algorithm immediately.

Weaknesses

•Still needs comment integration to match HN's discussion-driven value proposition.
•Feed sources limited to tech news, missing broader general interest coverage.

Post Description

HN’s content has always been great, but the interface, not so much. I wanted to feel the live movement of Digg, stories reordering in real time based on rank. That quickly escalated, turning into a multi-feed blend from arXiv, Product Hunt, Ars Technica, Bleeping Computer and many more. The Hot tab combines them all based on rank without letting any single feed overpower the rest. No login needed to give it a try.
