Show HN: Daily digest of close friends updates from FB/Twitter/Instagram
- amitm 14y agoHi all, we made this to solve one of our own problems. We would love to get your feedback.
- trosenbaum 14y agoJust signed up. I assume this is to help combat the "Filter Bubble" phenomenon that is common nowadays? It definitely felt freeing to pare things down to about 40 people.
- Harkins 14y agoFor the curious: it does not detect who your close friends are, you have to select from a list of your contacts per-service.
- amitm 14y agoYep. This is our first iteration. We want to see if people actually care. We have a couple ideas on what to do to actually detect them.
- siong1987 14y agoSince we are on this particular topic, let's brainstorm some of the things we can do to get a list of close friends. I have a few from Facebook. - access the friends list api, particularly the close friends list from Facebook. Since Facebook didn't disclose how they come up with that list, it seems pretty accurate to me. - look through photos with people who are tagged together with you. These people must be the people you hang out quite often since you take photos together with them. It should works on Instagram too. - tags in status update. People who usually tag you/you tag should be people who are close to you. This should work on Facebook or Twitter. Any better ideas than these?
- amitm 14y agoTags in status updates and photos were the first couple we thought of. A couple more were comments and likes on your status updates, photos, etc
