Ah, it's back up? I was looking to fork it, recently, and the repo seemed to be disappeared.
TIL nostr:npub1yxprsscnjw2e6myxz73mmzvnqw5kvzd5ffjya9ecjypc5l0gvgksh8qud4 is not only the incredible talent behind strfry, he also built Oddbean - a Hacker News clone built on nostr.
While we're encouraging people to engage in conversations through nostr, conducting any sort of dialog through interfaces which are effectively ephemeral is challenging for users.
Oddbean fills a gap in the nostr ecosystem:
* Interface encourages continuous discussion over time
* Implements clean, consistent threading
* Provides transparent way to rank/sort notes and threads
* It's not a firehose, notes don't constantly move in a river of posts
* You don't have to follow someone to discover the most interesting content.
Finally, check this out, his ranking algo is published right at the top of the site.
He encourages others to build their own. This is the future.
