How did you determine the tags?
yetihehe
- List of available tags would be even cooler.

- When you select some tags, list can overflow horizontally and first column with tags is only partially visible. Happened to me when selecting "hardware" tag.

- When you select prev/next or tag, list could scroll to top

- It also often picks up irrelevant comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45421459

> some analysis of project types over time to see changes in tech

Great idea! I'd love to see some stats on the high and low level tags.

Really nice, and also the search is satisfying snappy!

Thank you for this. I did a search filter on my username and have a good memory trace back. I really need it!

What is the system behind the distinction between “high-level” and “low-level” tags? For example, why is "artificial intelligence" high level, but "cloud computing" low level? Why is "tool" on both levels for the same entry?

Very cool. Would be great to have upvotes for good ideas

Ideas:

1. Optionally allow all pages to be shown at once (no pagination).

2. Provide a "download all as JSON" button.

3. Allow the use of an LLM to filter through these comments.

I was planning to do this for every single post ever made in this category with traffic tracking, linkedin profiles of people at work, how much funding have they raised or how much ARR / MRR for bootstrapped projects. how many are open source on github but you beat me to it lol

What's the default sorting algorithm?

I just posted recently in the thread so would have expected to see my post somewhere on this site near the front page. Granted, I guess HN already has a new/hot algorithm, so perhaps you didn't want to reinvent the wheel and instead focus on search.

I have a new computing architecture hard/soft/comms from the ground up and a new AGI model. New algorithms for GC and defrag. New O(1) sorting algorithm.

Nice work, thanks for sharing!

Here's my feedback..

1. Please, consider to always include the latest What Are You Working On posts. For instance, this latest one posted 16 hours ago is not included yet (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45869146).

2. Also, it may be better to include ONLY top-level comments and not replies. For instance, the second row appearing on the list says "Thanks for the the kind words.." by @rubansk is a reply and not a root comment which may be of a little value here.

3. For the UI, when I sort by columns "AUTHOR" or "POSTED", the table would take a different size?! It would be nice to keep the size of the table fixed.

Just my two cents..

I recently left (or rather, was semi-forced out from) reddit. Hackernews does not have crazy moderators or at the least not as many; there is more free-form discussion, which is great.

Still, a few things I like. I used old.reddit.com, but even that seems to be a bit better than the default UI on hacker news. I don't mind the UI, but I found old.reddit.com easier and faster to use (the new reddit UI is just garbage though). It would be nice if hackernews could add more features that are SIMPLE and also simple improves to the layout - again, just very small and careful changes; people dislike any change to their workflows, so hackernews should make these conservatively and only little; and perhaps with a limit per year or every 5 years or so.

Content-wise I have no huge issue, although I'd like more grouping, as some news are interesting, others not so much (to me). Reading just the title is often not enough; some good articles have horrible titles and vice versa.

I don't know. You've been kinda known as a troll in /r/programming. First you were shevegen, then shevy-ruby and then shevy-java. The mods there are really, really hands-off, so it took them a loooong time to ban you (I presume they did?), which lead you to ban evasion and creating dupe accounts. Not a feel-good story.

Personally, I find little value in most of the tags. To me, many of them just say "Coders gonna code."

It would be more interesting if you could tag the projects based on their subject matter: What problem are they working on, what subject area, what change are they hoping to bring to the world?

There's so much duplication, or overlap at least.

Despite being a software dev and more invested than the average person, I don't feel like there are that many websites or applications I use really. But there are the best part of a thousand webapps being developed there. I was mulling over starting a language learning platform, but there seem to be 133 being worked on just by people who've posted to HN to say they're working on one.

No wonder most of us seem to struggle with getting traction.

Looks good, a fun project.

This is great!

1. Does it include comments from ALL previous WAYWO posts?

2. Add navigation by page too. Currently I can press next, but it does not reflect in the URL, which means I can't jump to middle or at the end.

Looks like that paging is artificial and data is loaded once on first load. You could also add how many posts to show on single page.

Nice idea!

For quickly skimming the list, I think it would be useful to add a short, standardized summary for each project. These summaries should be easy to generate automatically with any LLM of your choice.

I have a similar tool for organizing the “Who Is Hiring” threads [1] that uses GPT to provide a quick overview. It’s still running on an old model version from 2023, yet it has been working surprisingly well for over two years now with basically zero maintenance.
