The Building Process: Our Dev’s Perspective We designed a notification system that delivers alerts based on user actions. A key improvement in this update is engagement tracking. Previously, we didn’t track who performed an action—just that an action happened. Now, for example, if someone subscribes to a writer’s newsletter, the writer can see exactly who subscribed. This also enables a 'Mutual Subscribe' option, fostering better connections between users. who who 'Mutual Subscribe' The 'For You' tab now recommends stories tailored to your interests. We achieved this by mapping user reading patterns and applying a lightweight AI layer. This allows us to efficiently recommend the same article to many users while maintaining relevance. In future updates, we aim to expand these recommendations beyond articles, including users, companies, and more. 'For You' With these updates, we hope to make your HackerNoon experience more personalized and engaging. Let us know what you think! Want more reading recommendation?
