Any thoughts on implementing a 'follow' function for Stacker.News like twitter?

Hmm the platform is small enough where I can still catch up with everyone's posts. I think K00b was talking about more subreddit style for future growth.

We're considering it - but there are various and tradeoffs and concerns around it making sense. How would you want it to work?

I would think it would be exactly like Recent, for both Posts and Comments but the content is only for those who I follow.

The UX could be as simply as adding to /recent a slider or button for toggling "Only those I Follow" / "All".

If it involved a new button at the top, that sounds good to me. I wouldn't prefer that as a way of consuming content because I fear missing out on posts from people I don't know yet, but I can imagine occasionally hitting that tab to see if I missed anything interesting from people I already trust to put up good content.

Interesting. I could see that. Individualized content pages are a big challenge tho

I missed the functionality too. Nice feature.
