Why don't you color the comments instead of displaying a number?

MIT_Hacker• 14 years ago

They get colored if it is negative or positive enough

gwintrob• 14 years ago

Change the color of the entire comment, not just the percentage.

joshma4• 14 years ago

We tried that, but 1) it conflicted with the `gray text` coloring (although we could'be blended the colors together) and 2) we just thought it was less intrusive this way.

We didn't want to conflict with the graying of downvoted comments. :)

liyanchang• 14 years ago

How are you calculating percentages?

maxko872• 14 years ago

We used an open source sentiment analysis API.

dbaupp• 14 years ago

Which one?

anigbrowl3• 14 years ago

This could perhaps be improved. It seems to employ a very primitive negative/positive, large/small dichotomy. I presidct that simply putting the words huge and new will give this comment a positive sentiment....

Doesn't work for me on Ubuntu 12.04 Chrome

joshma4• 14 years ago

Hm, strange, it looks okay to me on my VM - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, Chrome v20.0.1132.47

graue• 14 years ago

Me neither on Ubuntu 12.04, Chromium 18.0.1025.151. (I'd assume it's supposed to work on Chromium as well as Chrome?) It installs without a hitch, but the comments pages are totally unmodified — no percentages or color like the screenshot.

Gosh, I need to make much more positive comments.

architbhise• 14 years ago

guys you absolutely need Facebook and Twitter integration. Wouldn't be a real app without it.

anigbrowl3• 14 years ago

I like it the way it is.

rishter• 14 years ago

Don't bother, architbhise is a troll.

Side note: the detective in me has noted that the mystery mods somehow knew this was a Stripe hackathon project, as the original title didn't have the tag.

whodunnit?

Given that Chrome and Safari extensions are "just" javascript, has anyone made a Chrome to Safari extension converter?

psyph• 14 years ago

meta: This makes me so happy! :)

rdl2• 14 years ago

Please make it work on the user's own comments page.

rdl2• 14 years ago

Wow, threads like http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4180543 are amber waves of hate.

Love the icon...
