Show HN: Judge HN Threads with Jev

A developer posted Jev to Hacker News, a tool that judges and rates HN threads using AI evaluation. The project was shared on Hacker News as a Show HN submission by user rishi_, with the app running live at hnjudge.vercel.app.

Jev appears designed to automatically score and assess discussion threads on Hacker News, likely offering users a new way to surface quality conversations or benchmark thread engagement. The tool uses AI to evaluate threads, though the Show HN post itself provided minimal detail on the specific scoring methodology or evaluation criteria. The project targets the Hacker News community directly, suggesting it may help readers prioritize which threads to read or participate in based on some automated quality signal.

The submission arrived with minimal engagement initially—just 2 points and no comments at the time of posting—typical for a fresh Show HN launch. Show HN submissions are a long-standing tradition on Hacker News where builders share side projects, tools, and early-stage products directly with the community for feedback. The fact that it was deployed to Vercel indicates a lightweight, web-accessible deployment rather than a complex backend infrastructure.

Beyond the basic project launch, the sources provided no information on the developer's background, whether Jev is open-source, pricing details, or planned roadmap. Builders typically use Show HN posts to gather early user feedback and gauge community interest before deciding on next steps like open-sourcing, commercialization, or feature expansion.
