Should be added now if you refresh your Profile page. I've added an Account Settings button that lets you reset all your card votes and delete your account and all its data.

Should be added now if you refresh your profile page and click "Account Settings" there. I've added a feature for resetting all your votes and deleting your entire account.

I think you are 100% right here. Wow, thanks so much. This really is amazing. I'm going to begin work on this soon (just need to get some sleep first!)

Haha, this is actually still an open question. My marketing thus far has been exclusively just posting it on a couple subreddits and this Hacker News thread. I don't think I've yet achieved traction because there aren't enoug

Another fantastic reply! I really need to get this to take off already so I can hire you before you make your own and out-compete me. The more I read this reply, the more I agree with it, and I think it may actually not be that difficult of

Wow, this is an incredible reply. Thanks so much for such an in-depth analysis and compliments! I actually really like your mock-up and really appreciate that you took the time to make it. Hopefully you don't mind if I take quite a bit

Yeah, the first pass for the clustering was SciKit's Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering Function and then the clusters were manually tweaked in an attempt to increase accuracy. Clusters are also manually updated and curated, so hope

Yeah, a lot of people have been requesting this. In the interim you can go to the Cards page and click on cards and change your votes there to baseline. This has been a heavily requested feature though and I'll be adding the ability to

This is actually something that I'm still trying to figure out, and hopefully can be improved in the future. Maybe you can help me out: So, the problem we'd like to solve is what set of 250 or so cards has the highest predictive v

Cool, I think you'll really enjoy it. For authenticating with Google and Facebook I used the oauth2 crate. For logging in in general I used private encrypted cookies as described on this page: https://api.rocket.rs/v0.4

In the beginning it was a bit tricky because the migration to async was happening within the Rust community, so that caused some code churn early on. Lately though it's been smooth sailing. I'm using tokio-postgres for my database

Ah cool thanks for the link I'll check it out!

So, the clustering situation is a bit of a double-edged sword. Here's the pros and cons I've found: Pros: 1) Allows for instant similarity-searching. I am using the Postgres CUBE data structure to index users' votes and it ha

Yeah, a few people joined the discord and asked for this as well. I'm going to try to have it added by the end of the week.

I'm glad you're a fan too! Yeah, vanilla Javascript seems pretty powerful these days. If you don't care too much about backwards compatibility or supporting really old browsers then you can get a lot done with really thin wra

I just uploaded a new logo with twice the resolution. Did that help?

This is very good insight and I definitely agree. With regard to your first point, I'll look to add a limit to how many users a person can message per day. I spent some time already and plan to spend a lot more on moderation tools to m

Right, that is a very good point. That reason is why I neglected to add a gender option, as I felt the inclusion of that filtering criteria would steer the culture towards that of a dating site. As for its reason for being, it's mostly

Thanks! Hmm, yeah, the swiping UX seems to be pretty tricky to get right. Initially I didn't have the percentage but some early testers highly recommended I add it for two reasons: 1) They couldn't see well and found the addition

Hi Hacker News, I was looking for a project to learn Rust with and improve my webdev skills, so I came up with the idea of Kardius. After reading The Rust Programming Language I began work on it. I posted it on reddit some months ago and tr
