Very nice, it would be great if you added more filtering options (for example, I'd like to exclude anything with 'coin'), and generate RSS feeds with those filters.
Great job, now I'll go back into the rabbit hole you've created!
It seems that crypto is a really hot thing these days :) Actually, the ranks are based on Alexa rank and FB shares, so it should correlate with the real usage of these websites.
When I see things like this, I always wonder how the data is acquired. I have had many ideas in the past that I couldn't really go through with as they were data-bound. I am sure it would be preferred to be kept relatively under-wraps, but I'm still curious.
If anyone has any conjecture, or if itrinity would be willing to explain a bit, it would be greatly appreciated.
Hello, one of the developers here. What you said is not quite accurate, as our ranking algorithm will still rate websites with high popularity/traffic (Alexa Rank) even with no facebook shares / referring domains or any other metrics. They will not reach such high positions, but they will be ranked.

Its a little disconcerting just how many Crypto related posts have shown up on Hacker News lately, with the strong comments that come with it
Maybe its a good thing, who knows

This make sense but only for websites that are actually shared in social media (assuming you also pull Facebook, Twitter, VK, etc).
For other websites with high traffic but with less shares, this does not work (adult websites, tools, etc).
Besides that, UX factors like bounce rate, session duration, etc. are very good indicators as well.
