Ungovernable
It's a custom-made, Rails project. The algorithm is based on what hacker news uses (https://medium.com/hacking-and-gonzo/how-hacker-news-ranking-algorithm-works-1d9b0cf2c08d). I don't track views/clicks, but I have thought about it. Like, it's doable. Instead, there is an "upvote" system (the triangle to the left of a title). Without any users the top page doesn't really work and I stopped working on the layout. If it did work though - if there were some active users, or maybe a group of supporters with voting priviledges - I think a kind of user-curation could be really powerful in this context!
If the curation worked, I imagine the 'top'-page could also be laid-out in a newspaper-y style. I personally like when the most important news are obvious from a brief look, when there is a visual hierarchy on the layout. Ideally this should be possible without any scrolling after entering the page. I'm not a fan of the infinite scroll..
