What HN said

What people liked

  • Results feel accurate and engaging, despite some generic phrasing.

    From 4 comments
    • I was wary of this, as it felt kind of like a horoscope that could apply to anyone. At the risk of TMI, I left a cult, which was the faith of my family. During that process, I…

    • Not sure what's going on, but for me this is insanely accurate. Is it some weird trick going on like the sentences are so generic everyone can see some truth to them or what?

    • Primary Theme: Ideation You love to see your ideas come to life. What already exists is simply not good enough. You want to see YOUR idea out there. Maybe improve something…
      langsoul-com on HN
    • It gave my primary theme as "Stargazing." Given that I mostly comment on astronomy posts I guess that really is right on the money.

  • Fun to share with friends and compare accounts.

    • I love me some tech horoscopes. Fantastic job on this, I can't wait to share this with friends at a bar or similar. It's going to be really entertaining to compare, especially…

    • Just did this based on my Reddit profile. Few observations: a) Fairly accurate. A lot of it sounds like Horoscope-type language but it was overall fun. I'd still recommend it…

Objections

  • Results read like generic horoscope text that applies to almost anyone.

    From 4 comments
    • This is a horoscope with a text input box and a button.
      ARandomerDude on HN
    • It mostly feels like one of those things you read in horoscopes where it feels right because those things just apply to almost everyone. Sometimes it gives conflicting results,…
      rdedev on HN
    • This is so bad. Bad bad bad. Everything it says is generic crap that would apply to... a very large percentage of... humanity on internet forums! It didn't even know, for sure,…
      sandos on HN
    • I was told I value financial independence, but doesn’t that apply to pretty much everyone? Seems like generic horoscope language overall. But definitely provocative and made me…

  • Recommendations look like affiliate or ad placement, mainly Sodastream.

    From 4 comments
    • I don't own a sodastream. I've never researched sodastream. Anyone wanna guess what the product placement was? This feels a lot like it's a Trojan hor(o)s(cop)e, delivering a…
      handedness on HN
    • Is this just an ad for sodastream?
      bhaney on HN
    • Wow this troubles me this stayed on the HN fp for three hours (and counting). It's clearly someone trying to profit off affiliate links using the oldest tricks in the book.
      ben174 on HN
    • This is fake as hell and you should all be ashamed of yourselves for treating it with any sincerity. It's an ad placement for Amazon clicks. That's all. Flag and move on.
      joeframbach on HN
  • Submit button and results often fail to work, likely due to HN traffic.

    From 3 comments
    • Isn't working for me. The submit button doesn't do anything
      Centigonal on HN
    • HN broke it. Not even an error message. Nothing happens when you click the button.
      markdown on HN
    • Anyone else not seeing any results?
      EamonnMR on HN
  • Fetch speed suggests cached data or doubts about how comments are scraped.

    From 3 comments
    • Do you have a local cache of the HN comment data? The response is too quick for calling the HN API + running through NLP model.
      melony on HN
    • Link to Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/SideProject/comments/y2xxf0

    • It appears there's some rule or other factor that prevents it from working with my name. I thought it might be length, but it does pg just fine. Perhaps because my name is…

Requests

  • Weight comments by age so personality changes are reflected.

    From 2 comments
    • "You may feel like we've lost our way. You're tired. You have no energy." Ok that's true as of creation of my new HN account about a year ago. But when I ran it for my old…

    • > Does this algo weight comment based on its age ? No but that's a fantastic suggestion. Thanks!

  • Reduce the 26MB background image.

    From 2 comments
    • The background image is 26mb, I'd suggest looking into reducing it, even if it's for your own server's cost :)
      POiNTx on HN
    • You might have saved my butt by pointing that out early on in the torrent of people. Thanks.
      muttled on HN
  • Analyze Stack Overflow next.

Questions

  • Is the response so fast because of a local cache of HN data?

    From 1 comment
    • Do you have a local cache of the HN comment data? The response is too quick for calling the HN API + running through NLP model.

  • Does the tool use a websocket and send screen and client size data for fingerprinting?

    From 1 comment
    • I don't know if your service is getting hugged or what, but I can see it send off the websocket mouse click events, but it never seems to receive an actionable response. Just…

    • That is just a clever ad. It probably doesn't even look at your comments. Check out this AI "psychic". Much more interesting…
