Show HN: Hacker News with AI stories filtered out (hcker.news)

52 points by postalcoder ↗ HN
Hi folks,

I've noticed that a lot of people here seem exhausted by the amount of AI news on the front page. I shared hcker.news here a year ago and it has since gained a ton of filtering features, including a dedicated AI filter, so I figured I should tell more people about it.

The filter works in three passes:

  1. Known AI-related keywords and domains are filtered automatically.
  2. An agent reviews the remaining articles and removes those it identifies as AI-related.
  3. I make the call on uncertain cases.
You can also exclude GitHub repos posted to HN that show signs of AI authorship. The filter checks:

  - Commit messages for agent attribution
  - Contributors for known coding agents
  - Repository files for agent instructions and configs
No filter will be perfect, but this is as good as it gets. lmk what you think. Cheers.

I don't normally read the front page, more /newest

Any chance of implementing that?

Your site works with my Firefox auto-pager, which is really nice for archiving posts for later search.

Hey thanks for adding customizable rss feeds! Super handy feature

Is there any chance the feed items could also have a direct link to the hn post? Right now I'm trying them, clicking through to your site then clicking to go to hn when I mostly just want the direct link to the hn discussion page so it's a bit clunky. I can solve this on my end easily with a redirect but I figured I'd mention it in case it's useful feedback.
