Ask HN: Does anyone know of a general news site akin to Hacker News?

Ask HN: Does anyone know of a general news site akin to Hacker News? 5 by THENATHE | 2 comments on Hacker News. Very small, curated community posting thoughtful political, general, arts, gaming, etc news (specifically not just tech and “nerd” focused) that has some level of commenting functionality? I LOVE hackernews but I am finding that I really don’t get a lot of non-tech news here (and I understand that is the point) and so I am looking for something to replace Reddit, TikTok, and google news at getting regular stories. Some things I have tried: RSS feeds: don’t really see a practical benefit to this over google news Google News: want to get away from it as I am trying to excommunicate Google from my life as much as possible, and it misses the comment functions Apple News: not happy I have to pay money for half of it, and the other problem I have is I could give a rats ass about their “curated” stories and audio news. Reddit: generally, too mainstream and filled with a bunch of ...

Show HN: Hacker News historic upvote and score data

Show HN: Hacker News historic upvote and score data 7 by clacker-o-matic | 2 comments on Hacker News. Hi yall! I've been using hacker news for a while but one of the things I started wanting recently was the ability to have alerts for any stories I post. The thing that pushed me over the edge was Hackclub's shipwrecked https://ift.tt/BcD5Efq (hackathon in the boston bay for anyone that can make 4 projects over the summer and get at least one of them to go viral). One of the options for "going viral" was to get to the front page of hacker news but I was constantly scared that I would miss it getting on there lol so I whipped up a quick slackbot to send alerts to a channel. It was dead simple but it did work. Once I had the bot I realized I could do wayyyy more with the data I was collecting so I decided to add some historical data initially thinking I would generate graphs and then embed them in the message but decided to quickly try using Bun.serve to host a quick ...

Show HN: HNRelevant – Add a "related" section to Hacker News

Show HN: HNRelevant – Add a "related" section to Hacker News 7 by imadj | 0 comments on Hacker News. It's been 2 years since the initial release [here]( https://ift.tt/8cgpMUB ). The initial version was a very basic prototype which was not available anywhere beyond the GitHub repo. You had to install it as a userscript or load the extension manually. Since then, it remained simple but better, new features include: - Improved accuracy by also using comments to help gauge the topic of discussion and the right keywords. - Published as plugin for more browsers: Chrome, Firefox (including android), and more recently Microsoft Edge. - Support for narrow screens and mobile devices. - Added preference controls. You're here because you love interesting HN discussions but they're often buried away like hidden gems, so give it a try and let me know what you think.

Show HN: hcker.news – an ergonomic, timeline-based Hacker News front page

Show HN: hcker.news – an ergonomic, timeline-based Hacker News front page 51 by postalcoder | 17 comments on Hacker News. Hi folks, I've built an alternative Hacker News front page. It is inspired by and meant to be a replacement for hckrnews.com. I built this because HN is woefully underfeatured, but most sites that try to improve it seem to assume that the visual design is the problem. hcker.news tries to maintain HN's familiarity while adding useful enhancements. There are three primary views: - Timeline View: Browse top stories by votes or comments grouped by day, week, or month (e.g., top 20 per day, top 100 per week). - Aggregate View: See top stories by votes or comments over custom time ranges. - Front Page View: The original HN front page, untouched. Feed Filtering: - Kagi Small Web: View only stories from websites that are a part of Kagi's Small Web, which is a curated list of non-commercial blogs - Custom Keyword Filters: Include/exclude keywords (e.g., includ...
