If you were to have something local build you an algorithm, what signal would you want it to consume and how far from the median would you want it to deviate? Would you want it to use signal from online socials?


This is a good idea. One signal would be HN mentions. Second might be reddit mentions, but with a lot of qualifications.

As a first step, a page showing recent youtube links from HN would be nice!



Why limit it to local? You could use the API for the YouTube recommendations. You already are using the YouTube API for the videos themselves.


Certainly, ingest all the signal you’d like, and then emit a feed for clients to consume (or to be republished). Could run locally, could run in a container, could run on an AT protocol PDS. It is an algorithm/discovery/recommendation sovereignty play.
