Ask HN: Is there a list of Hacker News projects?

33 points by blparker 15y ago ↗ HN

Over the past few months (and probably even before that), I've seen quite a few projects that either leverage the HN user base or data in order to create some cool little project. A few I seen/remember were things like: HNTrades (trade/sale domain names), SearchYC (search HN), Hackerviews (view other HNers). I was curious if there was a list of these projects, because I'm sure there are a lot floating out there that can be useful.

I'll start by adding Peter Cooper's hackerslide ( http://hackerslide.com/ ), which behind the curtain uses my ruby API, ruby-hackernews ( http://github.com/bolthar/ruby-hackernews )

There is also hnbooks (hn-books.com)

Nothing official, but it would seem like something useful, like the new Books site.

Someone here put this together: http://resourcey.com/site_details/2/news.ycombinator.com/

Edit: some more found at the bottom of http://jacquesmattheij.com/The+Unofficial+HN+FAQ

Feel free to add HN Recap(http://hnrecap.com) to any list that may exist. I built it a while ago to help me get daily, weekly and monthly summaries of Hacker News.

It has it's own scoring system, archives and Instapaper support. The plan is to use the data to start a daily podcast quickly summarizing the top news of the previous day in 10-15 minutes.

That's a neat idea.

It looks like user yatsyk built http://hnresources.com/ for this purpose.

This is pretty cool. Do you have any idea if this stuff is manually entered, or does he mine HN for it?

yatsyk 15y ago ↗

Glad you like my project. All links are added manually into textile documents. All sources available at https://github.com/yatsyk/HNResources .

blparker 15y ago ↗

So, I added all of the resources up to this point in the link: http://resourcey.com/site_details/2/news.ycombinator.com/

Feel free to add more to this list.

This is the list I have been building up https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AqL8kR005z0QdENvNUJ...

It should be editable if you signed into google docs. Let me know if it's not.

It's times like this that I wish HN had a save story feature. So I can just go to my profile and see HN stories I have saved.

If you upvote something, it saves it. Check out http://news.ycombinator.com/saved?id=SteveMorin or click the "saved stories" link in your profile.

Thanks good to know

Nice list.

I'm the co-creator of HackerFollow. As a note, we don't do any type of email notifications. Just creates a Twitter-like feed of posts and comments.

Can you or anyone else confirm that the document is now editable? I want to let other people contribute to it.

On a slight tangent, I've added links to all the November Startup Sprint projects that I know of to my blog, on the sidebar: http://www.weddingbudgetbuddy.com/blog/

Let me know if I've missed yours.

Was this list derived from the Facebook page?

user24 15y ago ↗

Yes.
