Hallway

If it looks like a hallway, feels like a hallway, and acts like a hallway—is it important to figure out that it isn’t a hallway?

— Patricia Briggs

Hallway is a web app that helps you find relevant discussions. Enter a URL and it will load discussions for that URL from Hacker News, Reddit and Twitter. I've deployed it to discuss.findka.com. You can enter a URL on the home page, or you can set it via query parameter:

https://discuss.findka.com/view?url={some url}

I made Hallway so that I could add "discuss this essay" links to Findka Essays without expanding its scope too much. (If anyone asks for a feature, I can just say "happy to accept a PR"). I've written it with Clojure and Biff.
