Show HN: Generating fun Stack Exchange questions using Markov chains
Hi everyone, I hope you like my latest side project!<p>I'm an astronomy student who likes programming in his free time. This time I wanted to write something that handles larger amounts of data. And as I recently came across the Stack Exchange data dump including all questions and answers I had the idea of using them to create Markov Chains for (nearly) every Stack Exchange site.
The website displays the resulting content, which is often surprisingly coherent and entertaing, and allows upvotes/downvotes so that the best questions get to the front page.
And as a bonus, I created a quiz where one can guess which site a random question is based on.<p>If you are interested in my other projects, check out <a href="https://lw1.at" rel="nofollow">https://lw1.at</a>, if you want to see the code, everything is Open Source and can be found here: <a href="https://github.com/Findus23/se-simulator" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/Findus23/se-simulator</a><p>Please excuse the very minimal design, but after writing a lot of Single Page Applications I wanted to go the oposite way and write a website with less than 25KB.
