Quick way to impliment what's requested is to set up search engine/web scrape of article and find the article's doi number. if the article has doi number, then can quickly find/filter on the requested statistics on-line and generate a personal interest ranking metric without using 'AI'. aka no peer review / subject field expert review(s), rank as 'don't display' CrossRef[0] is a site that has related direct/indirect doi / paper statistics. note: Journals and publishers have their own platforms where you can access usage statistics for papers with DOIs. Things done prior to DOI's might require some AI/chatgpt stuff. abstracts/synopsis section of papers and/or search engine AI generated synopsis/summary might be a quick/easy way to assess 'technical content'.

Show HN: Simple Hacker News Client for Emacs

I wrote this small client to read hackernews from my favorite editor. It's currently using an external HTTP API [0] but I'm working on my own proxy [1]. I'd love to actually scrape and cache all the info I need using lisp. However, my time constraints are keeping me away of that goal. I could definitely use some help here! :) I'm also planning to add support for comments and posting new things. Any feedback is highly appreciated! Thank you!
