I've had no trouble hitting the Firebase API at the speed items are created, with a 5 second delay between retries. For scraping HN directly, in my experience you have to go extremely slow, like 1 minute between fetching items. And if

The HN/Firebase API doesn't make this easy. For https://hnstream.com I ended up crawling items to find the article.

Congrats on the project! You may be right. There are other SSE services, but I can't think of one that allows clients to subscribe without authentication. Not requiring client auth certainly makes things simple. It can even work for pr

I agree it has some problems. For now, it is mostly a UX proof-of-concept and probably not how an official poll should be conducted. > What problem is this envisioned as solving? Its core mission is to legitimize all candidates on the ba

It's a proof-of-concept for a potential startup idea, not endorsed by my employer. I simply picked tech in arms reach. Maybe in 2028 this could be a real thing, regardless of where it is running. An edge cloud does seem ideal for natio

Hmm. Yes, using Fastly for that. Can you go to https://ileantoward.com/geotest and see if anything looks fishy? Notably country_code and region (region should have a state code if country is "US").

I'm not sure there'd be much benefit to using shielding with WebSockets, since the traffic wouldn't be cached/collapsed. You can still shield HTTP traffic on the same domain being used for WebSockets. WAF could be nice t

Does HN skew democratic? Maybe so. Still interesting to see the breakdown.

One of the goals with the non-binding vote aspect is to encourage people to fearlessly vote their first choice. They can always change it to something else at the last minute. Then again, since this is only polling and not real voting, ther

Sorry about that! To keep friction low and to avoid people voting in the wrong state on purpose there's no way to select your location. In a future iteration I want to relax this but not sure how yet.

Needs more participants. :) If there were thousands of votes I expect the percentages would align with traditional polling, although if they didn't that would be super interesting.

Hi HN! I made a presidential polling website with real-time electoral results. It requires semi-live participation and votes can be changed at any time. Only visitors from the USA can participate. Congressional district is determined by IP

I operate a bit like this too, after I noticed a friend requiring a whole pot of coffee to get through the day. In the morning if I'm desiring coffee I ask myself for the justification. Bad sleep on a random weekday is not sufficient.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. What you describe sounds awesome, and in fact some of these concepts are present in our stack but not fleshed out to this level, so maybe we could get there someday. The challenge is making it practical. Cur
