I built Prijm.com because I wanted something like a cross between Reddit and the simplicity of Hacker News, where you can follow tags like #OpenAI or #AI [1] the way you'd follow a subreddit, but ranking is based on favorites/comments rather than a hidden algorithm
Right now it has a very small user base and a few posts, so it's small and early.
One thing I'm actually proud of is the threaded, markdown commenting system. I put a lot of work into it. Unfortunetly, there isn't much discussion happening yet since the community is tiny, feel free to just try it out.
The notifications system only show up when you reload the page, no push yet.
I built this back in 2023, so it's mostly hand crafted, no coding agents involved (I did ask AI for advice here and there, but wrote and shipped it myself).
Would love your feedback. Happy to answer anything.
> ranking is based on favorites/comments rather than a hidden algorithm
But there has to be an algorithm to decide how to rank based on favourites and comments, and I couldn't see that algorithm described anywhere on the site, so I dare say that it's hidden.
Small gripe with the site, it somehow has the "swipe with two fingers sideways to go backward or forward in the browsing history" gesture disabled, which is kinda annoying. (macOS with Firefox)

Good catch! I missed it and I will soon add a page to clarify how it ranks and the algorithm behind it.
> gesture disabled
I think this bug was introduced when i disabled mac os scroll acceleration! I am investigating it, thanks for the feedback.
