HN Jev Sorter
HN Jev Sorter is a Chrome extension that sorts Hacker News comments into custom buckets in real time.
HN Jev Sorter is a browser extension that categorizes Hacker News comments into user-defined buckets while you watch. Users select preset or custom buckets, and the extension evaluates comments using Jev, TypeSafe's decision model, which processes each comment in about 300 milliseconds. The tool displays flight animations as comments move into their assigned buckets in thread order, complete with probability labels. Users can hover over buckets to read sorted comments, jump directly to specific comments in the thread, and create up to 12 custom buckets with specific descriptions. The extension runs in Google Chrome and other Chromium browsers such as Edge, Brave, and Arc, requiring a Jev API key from the TypeSafe console.
