Show HN: Top 10 Newest HackerNews Stories (Phoenix/LiveView) HNLive is a small Elixir/Phoenix/LiveView web app showing the top 10 (by score or number of comments) newest HackerNews stories in "real time" (i.e. as quickly as updates become available via the HackerNews API). You should find the app running on https://ift.tt/2Xeks58 - please note that this is running on the free tier with limited memory and resources. GitHub: https://ift.tt/3gEdU7C The motivation for building HNLive was twofold: 1. I had read and heard many good things about Elixir, Phoenix and LiveView, and after watching Chris McCord`s demo "Build a real-time Twitter clone in 15 minutes with LiveView and Phoenix 1.5" on YouTube, I finally said to myself: "That looks awesome, time to learn Elixir and Phoenix!" HNLive is the app I built over the last couple of days while on this learning journey. 2. I love browsing HackerNews, but for me the selection of stories on the front page, the "newest" page and the "best" page is not ideal if I want to see at a glance which new stories (say, submitted over the course of the last 12 hours) have received the most upvotes or are discussed particularly controversially (as judged by the number of comments). HNLive attempts to address this using data from the HackerNews API to provide the top 10 submissions, sorted by score or number of comments, taking into account only the last 500 submissions. I also wanted to see updates to the top 10 (and scores and number of comments) in real time, which was made easy by using LiveView. May 30, 2020 at 06:03PM
Show HN: Infstream – We’re trying to fix video monetization for creators TL;DR: https://ift.tt/2VFChrA Hi HN – we’re Ben & Callum from Infstream. We’ve always been heavy users of YouTube, for entertainment, education and sharing. Towards the end of last year, we saw more and more horror stories of YouTubers losing their livelihood to the ad algorithm. We decided to build a content-first video platform, which aims to reduce issues by removing advertisers from the equation. Instead, we charge for the content you watch – bold, I know. Instead of paying in advertising and data, users on Infstream build their own streaming package, a channel at a time. Anyone can start a channel (US & UK now, Europe soon) and earn directly from their subscribers. Subscribers pay $1 per month per channel, of which the channel receives $0.75. This all begins from the first subscriber, there are no minimums to start monetization. Channels have total control, and can publish on a daily, weekly or monthl...
