Saltiest Hacker News Trolls

PITCH

Build an app that uses Hacker News comment data to rank commenters based on comment sentiment (saltiness/negativity).

MVP

App rates and ranks hacker news commenters by negativity of comment sentiment (limited to commenters who have made x number of posts). Allows users to search by username to view comments and sentiment levels of specific users.

  • User creation/login flow
  • User can view a feed of negative comments from DS API
  • User can save their favorite salty comments to the backend
  • User can delete saved comments

STRETCH

App also displays the sentiment of individual comments by user allowing drilldown to a user view.

Web:

  • Create a way to share the funniest/worst trolls on twitter.
  • Use filter to display the cards in different ways depending on what the user wants to see and what is available in the DS API (ie funniest, most sarcastic, etc.)
  • Create a way to visualize the trolls that show up most frequently in a given time period.
