On the desktop this seems to be only rendered for mobile.
We are now past the "intellectual curiosity" era of Show HN and it has now entered into its fast food slop age.

I also doubt that youtube thing would have made it as high as it did if not for Karpathy.

Yeah influence has always had a huge effect but nowadays it feels like it starts to be the only thing that has an effect, as all these curiosity projects are low effort.

Mmmm Karpathy slop

I can't wait for the HackerHacker: HackerNews comments cited by other HackerNews comments

Now just add a ranking

Obviously the dropbox comment would be the most cited. But I wonder what number two would be

If I had time, I’d do HackerOverflow - all threads where HN users help answer technical questions and help debugging!

That's going to be a very short list then.

I really also meant nested in discussions on other submissions, not just Ask HN - I have found amazing gems hidden downthread of posts through the years, sometimes from internet legends or high-profile maintainers directly.

HackerUsers: List of HN accounts and their skill set. Since I already got emails from my HN comments I'm sure some big consultancy companies already have this in place.

What a sad dystopian future...

I like that it links to the actual HN comments (I don't think Karpathy's yt equivalent did that), and tbh I enjoy reading the context in which articles/videos are mentioned as much (or more) than the articles/videos themselves.

defrost | 2 hours ago

Click through on HackerTube took you from thumbnail wall to a specific video summary with AI context summary and links to user comments.

( I read my own past comments several times. Brrrr )

nomilk | 2 hours ago

Thank you I see them now. Since I enjoy reading the HN comments more than (and often prior to) the video itself, I'd love the comments to be on hover or sidebar (like Wikihack) on the main page so I can use them to decide whether to invest time on the video.

LoganDark | 57 minutes ago

One video may have been linked to in multiple comments, which is why each comment that links to the video is enumerated under the video.

I would just love it if the front page were full of "Show HN: HackerFoo" posts for two weeks now.

I mean the hype cycles usually don't last that long anymore these days? It will get old by Friday.

Pls buy some nice domain for project and then we can talk :). I am a bit tired to bookmark a project that disappears in few weeks when traffic via Netlify grows and isn’t free anymore…

ShinyLeftPad | an hour ago

There's so many dead domains though.

lifeisloving | an hour ago

I mean, Im probably never going to bookmark a netlify url. A domain cost $3.00.

If someone doesnt care enough to invest $3.00 in their project I'm not going to use it.

On more than one occasion a friend has sent me a netlify link asking for my opinion on a business or product and Ive replied that its a throwaway project.

komali2 | an hour ago

Especially because you could just buy your name as a domain, then put all your projects as subdomains off it. I have like, a billion projects off my co-op's subdomain, which costs us, idk, a hundred bucks a year?

darkwater | 33 minutes ago

Where? I had a xyz for a few bucks in PorkBun and it just renewed for 15$ now. Also, a domain is an ongoing expense.

Great job! As a little suggestion, it'd be great if this could also process non-English Wikipedia articles, because some niche (usually culture-specific) topics do not exist in English Wikipedia, and I believe there is quite a bit of value in exposing these.

mettamage | 2 hours ago

Can someone just gather up all the media types that HN recommends and put them in one collection?

I get it: HN people give generally good recommendations to the HN crowd.

Next up: Hacker Games, Hacker Niche Social Media sites, Hacker Enterpreneurship blogs, Hacker Art, Hacker Instagram Channels To Follow.

Bundle it and call it: Hacker Index or something ;-)

Show HN: Hacker News - HackerTube, but for articles posted on HN.
Every vibe coded software I’m following has stopped updates after about a week. Is this a change of interest in the developer or did they get lost in the code slop and the AI hit context limits to quality essentially locking out further changes?
It is because it makes $0 and they spend $100 - $1,000 on tokens.

Hackbraten | 44 minutes ago

Cool project!

I’d appreciate if the site didn’t hijack my scroll wheel though. It currently doesn’t let me scroll through the page at my own speed, which is super annoying, plus it hides any scroll bar (which would have served as my escape hatch for scrolling).

Coming soon: HackerHacker, HackerX, HackerGitHub, HackerAliExpress and HackerP*nHub!

enoch2090 | 34 minutes ago

But seriously, please don't burn any more tokens to make any of these real

We have a continuously updated, publicly accessible hackernews database in BigQuery, in case more of you folks are interested in building similar projects:
