Thank you for appreciating the challenge and giving me ideas!!

decaying algorithm based on last change to engagement.

Oh, my idea was just based on time (fetch older items less often), but basing it on the last change to engagement immediately made a lot more sense! My idea turned out to be a proxy metric for this, haha

Or maybe I can get @k00b to merge something, since I'm not dealing with a mega-corporation's API like it sounds in your case 👀

Migrations, while possible, are hell if you get it wrong at first.

I think in my case, in the worst case, I could just fetch every single item from Stacker News, starting from #1 all the way to #1545472. It might take a day or two, though.

(For this website, I fetched the feed for every territory. Bios and saloons aren't part of a territory, so I didn't fetch them or their replies.)

That is exactly where I started off. Then I ran into updates for old contentious posts becoming hot again coming along too slowly. (Posts were the main item.)

That is by far the best outcome. It takes away the need of priority rotation and guessing.

Back then, I was dealing with Facebook on the other end. The tool was based on Workspace which was a (now discontinued) clone of Facebook's code for businesses to use as intranet. A neat idea, but it didn't make it.
Even though I was writing the tool for a huge and prestigious customer, we couldn't convince them to assign resources to add such a feed.

Anyway, that's my bit in adding to your plea for @koob to help the man out. :)

not sure how bad that actually would be

You want a most recently zapped feed? We discussed something like this yesterday. /recent/zaps perhaps.

Yes, I think that would be the most reasonable solution, as an overlap between internal and external interests

Shouldn't be too bad with the right index.

I (and my AI minions) was tinkering with a fun visualizer for SN but limiting it to the current daily Saloon:

  • parent comments become tables and users in that thread are seated at the table, sorta replaying the thread
  • popular tables (threads) get effects and stuff
  • Music links show up as a jukebox or something
  • image links and promos turn into posters on the walls or flyers
  • watch it live, rewind the current saloon, or replay past Saloons
