My Secret Project: Hyperion
It's not released yet, this is just a sneak peak of something I'm working on in my spare time.

The main thing I wanted was an "inbox" style interface for finding new posts.  I have no issue with the existing interfaces, but I wanted to step away from that using a fresh new approach.

I was partially inspired by Google Reader.  It had that "inbox" feel that I enjoyed.  But one of the problems with Google Reader was that feeds could become overwhelming.

The approach I'm using is to manage tags/community feeds, with an emphasis on chronological sort.

#### Goals

1. **100 % manual voting mana utilization:** Help curators find at least 10 posts per day so they can use up their voting power, manually.
2. **Ignore tags option:** To achieve this fully manual curation, allow curators to ignore certain tags/communities, if they wish.
3. **Favorite tags option:** Allow curators to set certain tags as their favorite tags/communities.
4. **No historic content:** Only index content that is within the voting window.
5. **No comments:** Only index root posts (not replies).
6. **Mark as read:** Allow curators to mark posts as read so that they can find new content at their own pace.
7. **Related tags:** Find tags that are related to other tags, grouped by post frequency.
8. **Keyboard hotkeys:** Navigate using the keyboard.

#### Future Features

1. **Direct Voting:** Instead of browsing to the post just to vote, why not vote directly from the interface (via Hive Keychain, of course).
2. **Poisoned pills:** An option to automatically ignore authors if they post to certain tags/communities.  Beyond just ignoring posts on these tags, it will also ignore the entire blog of authors who may occasionally post to these tags, until they stop using those tags.
3. **Community Moderation:** Once a curator has a handle on a tag/community, I'll offer tools to expand directly on this as well.  This will allow moderators to enforce their personal ignore rules on a community, if they wish to apply them.

#### Tag Cloud

There are probably better *looking* word clouds out there, but unlike those, this one is functional.  When you drill into a particular tag, you can get a list of related tags, which is shown as a cloud, with bigger words representing tags with more posts:

</center>

In the above example, first I did a search on the tag `comics` then pulled up the related tags dialog.  From here, I can see what tags are used *along with* `comics` at a glance.

If I click on one, `space` for example, I'll see posts that have both `comics` *along with* `space` together:

</center>

This is really nice because there's only one, and it's hyper focused on exactly what I was looking for.

I still have some performance/scalability issues to work out.  Not really sure what the release schedule will look like.
