Show HN: FeelHN - Sentiment analysis for HN comments [Stripe hackathon project]

[pg]

Why don't you color the comments instead of displaying a number?

[joshma]

We tried that, but 1) it conflicted with the `gray text` coloring (although we could'be blended the colors together) and 2) we just thought it was less intrusive this way.

[maxko87]

We didn't want to conflict with the graying of downvoted comments. :)

[MIT_Hacker]

They get colored if it is negative or positive enough

[joshma]

Side note: the detective in me has noted that the mystery mods somehow knew this was a Stripe hackathon project, as the original title didn't have the tag.

whodunnit?

Wow, threads like http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4180543 are amber waves of hate.

Please make it work on the user's own comments page.

[mrkurt]

Gosh, I need to make much more positive comments.

Given that Chrome and Safari extensions are "just" javascript, has anyone made a Chrome to Safari extension converter?

Doesn't work for me on Ubuntu 12.04 Chrome

[graue]

Me neither on Ubuntu 12.04, Chromium 18.0.1025.151. (I'd assume it's supposed to work on Chromium as well as Chrome?) It installs without a hitch, but the comments pages are totally unmodified — no percentages or color like the screenshot.

[joshma]

Hm, strange, it looks okay to me on my VM - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, Chrome v20.0.1132.47

[liyanchang]

How are you calculating percentages?

[maxko87]

We used an open source sentiment analysis API.

[architbhise]

guys you absolutely need Facebook and Twitter integration. Wouldn't be a real app without it.

[anigbrowl]

I like it the way it is.

[ernestipark]

Love the icon...

meta: This makes me so happy! :)
