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."
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!
Great work! I'm doing something similar, but using upvoted submissions I did so I can rank posts better, filter out posts about AI but most importantly flag potentially interesting submissions in New that couldn't have made frontpage.
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.
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 was also my first instinct. Wikipedia says the US Baseball Hall of Fame has 351 inductees currently, for a sport that has existed in professional form since 1876. That feels like a more appropriate rate for this kind of enshrinement. Over 3000 in the span of less than 20 years is far too fast. The entire English language literary canon doesn't have that many entries.
on the other hand, there are much more links than baseball players. also there are only around 1k hall of fame links, the rest are candidates (i.e. have not met all requirements - 5+ submissions · 3+ distinct submitters · 3+ active years · 2 qualifying breakout events from different submitters at least 720 days apart)
i do accept thought that i have exaggerated in the title)

I actually did the comments internally and will probably post later in the week.
For example, the "max pts" text has no reason to be this small, there is easily enough space to the left.
