I'm surprised how many of those I've never seen before, even after spending more than a decade on HN and arguably way too much every day. Such a good surprise :)
I wish the page used the CSS :visited selector and provided a link on the index page, so we could easily see which one we've visited before or not.
Looks a lot alike Web UIs SOTA models produce, and you know what I'm really glad.
No more people doing crazy stuff with UX just because.
No more frontend dark magic only the most dedicated zealots can make sense of.
Democratised UI for all. And this might not even have had an AI assisted development, I'm just abusing this comment and going slightly off topic to say I'm happy for this tech, as someone that only dealt with backend and DevOps/SRE to be able to confidently create useful graphical applications for regular users and learning a ton about frontend architecture in the meantime.
Btw, a hall of fame for comments would also be interesting!
I was initially skeptical, but after looking through it I see some articles that I distinctly remember (eg Gervais Principle) and blogs like SSC which led me down rabbitholes.
Lots of good things come from the orange site. I’m sure myself and others will dig through these to find those hidden gems that we missed :)
This is cool, and clearly a popular post, yet also... doesn't the 'Show HN' guidelines specifically exclude lists and reading material?
With the massive drop in quality that AI has brought to Show HNs, this is a great example of something that truly is cool... but would be equally cool without 'Show HN' in front of the title. We're failing to moderate the site well unless we recommend OP does what the guidelines say and "make a regular submission instead."
HN rules are slightly bendy and not blindly applied. Things are generally okay if it's within the realm of good taste and judgement.
For instance, I've seen plenty of submissions which were retitled, like a news story which had a vague headline written for "normal people" which ends up being an article about a specific tech issue relevant to this community.
Thank you for sharing this extensive work. I’ve bookmarked it; I’ll likely analyze each category in detail—covering the topics, ideas, and statistics—whenever I find the time.

That only lasts as long as your browser history. For example, Chrome only holds your history locally for 90 days.

For example, the "max pts" text has no reason to be this small, there is easily enough space to the left.
Well there's a thing called a Hall Effect sensor . . .
