    Coming soon: HackerHackerTube, my website that recommends HackerTube variants posted on HN!

    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).

    Let's raise the bar. Create HackerDump - it's like HackerNews but only shows the articles you read in the toilet...

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

      Show HN: Peak Passive Aggressive comments; flagged, dead, and eerily popular !

      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.

        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.

          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.

          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?

    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 28 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.

    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.

    Show HN: Hacker News - HackerTube, but for articles posted on HN.

  • 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 ;-)

    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.

    We are now past the "intellectual curiosity" era of Show HN and it has now entered into its fast food slop age.

    • jacquesm 2 hours ago

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

      • guitarlimeo 2 hours ago

        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.

        • ares623 an hour ago

          Mmmm Karpathy slop

  • Profazia an hour ago

    looks like slop though
