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.

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 ...
