Hey HN, the maker here.

I built Prijm.com because I wanted something like a cross between Reddit and the simplicity of Hacker News, where you can follow tags like #OpenAI or #AI [1] the way you'd follow a subreddit, but ranking is based on favorites/comments rather than a hidden algorithm

Right now it has a very small user base and a few posts, so it's small and early.

One thing I'm actually proud of is the threaded, markdown commenting system. I put a lot of work into it. Unfortunetly, there isn't much discussion happening yet since the community is tiny, feel free to just try it out.

The notifications system only show up when you reload the page, no push yet.

I built this back in 2023, so it's mostly hand crafted, no coding agents involved (I did ask AI for advice here and there, but wrote and shipped it myself).

Would love your feedback. Happy to answer anything.

> ranking is based on favorites/comments rather than a hidden algorithm

But there has to be an algorithm to decide how to rank based on favourites and comments, and I couldn't see that algorithm described anywhere on the site, so I dare say that it's hidden.

Small gripe with the site, it somehow has the "swipe with two fingers sideways to go backward or forward in the browsing history" gesture disabled, which is kinda annoying. (macOS with Firefox)


Good catch! I missed it and I will soon add a page to clarify how it ranks and the algorithm behind it.

> gesture disabled I think this bug was introduced when i disabled mac os scroll acceleration! I am investigating it, thanks for the feedback.


I'm building https://prijm.com which is a minimalist link sharing and post creation platform with custom feed and notification support for your activities. Here are some of the features:

- Supports markdown every where, even in your comments and replies.

- Get notified.

- Personalized feeds.

- Lightning fast & mobile first.


That's a developers dream come true there, super happy for you!


I am in tears, also feeling happy for you!


> EdgeDB is built on top of Postgres

How it is a new database? Or an advanced orm?


We're working on a more comprehensive explanation of why EdgeDB isn't an ORM. Does EdgeDB do "object-relational mapping" under the hood — absolutely. The reason we try to distance ourselves from the category of ORMs is that the term "ORM" comes with a big bag of preconceptions that don't apply here. EdgeDB has:

- Full schema model with indexing, constraints, defaults, computed properties, stored procedures

- A query language that replaces SQL. If there's something you can do in SQL that isn't possible in EdgeQL, it's a bug. Most ORMS provide some sort of language-specific API for writing queries and generating SQL under the hood—that's dramatically different than providing a new query language.

- A full type system, grammar, set of functions and operators, etc. A set theoretic basis for all expressions in EdgeQL. https://www.edgedb.com/docs/edgeql/sets

- A set of drivers for different languages that implement our binary protocol.

EdgeDB is a new abstraction built on a lower-level abstraction: Postgres. Both indubitably fit any reasonable definition of "database".


Great! Please let us know the site you are going to build :)


Thank you so much! Will fix it soon :)


If you want to store password then use php password_hash function, otherwise all the data will be stored as plaintext JSON files. We don't have any data encryption implemented yet.


That is really cool! Join our discord and we can discuss about it more!


Glad you liked it! Totally agree with you on that! Yes, I am using it in production for a company. Few are just landing pages with simple admin interface to update data on the fly.
