Since hn karma probably correlates to how much hn readers would enjoy a blog, I'd love a column/columns that includes the user's:

   - hn profile karma
   - total karma of posts from that domain
   - as above, but Sum(log(post_karma[i]))
...or something similar.

Whatever is feasible. For a while I've wanted a list of "blogs/domains that hn likes" that isn't polluted by general-high-traffic domains.




I feel i'm going to open source this so people can add their own functionality. I will need to refactor first since I just hacked this together rather quickly.


Karma is there for now to sort by... I'll see about the rest later on.


That’s an awesome idea, I would be really curious to see the result.

(hoping that this does not backfire, for example encouraging people to spam HN with their own posts to gain some karma on the blogroll)


To address the exact situation in your parenthetical, I considered putting Sum(log(post_karma[i]-k)), for a k such that the expected log value is negative unless you get enough upvotes.
