Trust Signals as Sparklines for Hacker News

Interesting, but how is the trust signal measured? I couldn’t find this information
cobertos•1h ago
I'm pretty sure it's based off of the configuration in the green gear in the top right of the iframe. You can inspect the ways it's calculated from karma, comments, etc etc
CalRobert•8m ago
If you look at the config it's based on karma, comments, submission rate, comment rate (optional), and account age (that is, if you trust it actually uses the config how it says)

If it’s not transparent, it kind of defeats the whole idea of a “trust” signal — at that point it’s just a number you either believe or ignore.

Great idea.

I think friend/foe and trust signals should come from a user's voting. So I think it should operate transparently to the user and there should be a default shade-out option of bad actors, but with the option to view. So it's set-and-forget. On the backend - could you make it so if you've never visited HN before, and you install the plugin, the experience changes accordingly?

I had the idea to setup a forum somewhere else - this sort of functionality would come in handy as part of normal operation.

Where can I see mine?

Install the plugin and then load up your profile page, or any page with ac omment from you (like this one)

You have an overall 7 out of 8.

After attention, are we now in the trust economy… a brilliant idea for a plugin - thank you!

this UX is basically the (not so clever) equivalent of that blue tick status signal nonsense they have on insta ..

Great way to gatekeep new contributors trying to be helpful with news. Run the link through URL Scan if you’re paranoid…

Suggestion: instead of just popping in the computed graphic add a placeholder immediately - four low grey bars should work well, in the same width as the final sparkline graphics. That way the text on the page will not jump later when the final sparklines are ready.

No, thank you.
