What this ranks. Predicted score from our virality model over a 39K-post HN corpus — model output, not real HN votes. Filters: drafts with predicted score ≥ 1 and title ≥ 12 chars (cuts empty-test pokes). Sorted by predicted score desc, tie-break newest first. Want to see how the model does on the real HN front page? /predictions updates every 10 min.
ForesynWanna keep in touch?
Built this solo over a weekend. Soft-launching before the HN post on Monday. If you scored a draft and the prediction either nailed it or whiffed, I want to know.
