Description

Answerable gets the feed of the latest questions, determined by your tags (or their absence). Afterwards, it sorts the questions using an algorithm that weights them by the similarity of the text and the tags from the ones you've already answered, and displays them.

The timestamp of the last feed retrieved is stored in data/spider/feed, and it's used in order to avoid redundant requests. For this reason, the second from two consecutive calls of this command will display nothing. In other words, each recommendation is unique and unrepeatable.
