TopNews

• 

  The frontend for users

• 

  The user can then key in the score that they want

Inspiration

Despite my busy schedule, I wanted to catch up with the news. However, with so much going on in the world everyday, I found myself procrastinating as there was just too many articles out there. Hence I wanted to come out with something that allowed me to read the best rated articles.

What it does

1. It picks out the newest news at that time from link and picks out the highest rated articles by the users.
2. Depending on how free you are, you can specify how highly rated you want the news to be.
3. User can just simply key in the score that they desire and the cite will churn out the links for articles that are above that score.

How I built it

I made it in Python to parse HTML and XML documents. I scraped the article titles, votes and links from Hacker News. I then built a simple web app interface using HTML and CSS.

What's next for TopNews

I am improving this project to work for other cites as well.
