I made an HN clone that lists only Substacks posted here. - Why? Over the years, I've discovered some great blogs here, so I thought it would be nice to have a filter for them. - Why only Substacks then and not blogs more generally? Because it's easy to query for "substack.com" in the public HN Algolia API (see below). Plus, hnblogs was already taken :) - What about substacks on custom domains then? At the bottom of the page there is a form to submit a custom domain. The site attempts to auto-validate that it is a Substack. If that fails, it is marked for manual review (which I'll do every once in a while). Approved ones will be included in the results. - How? I use HN's Algolia API to fetch substack stories by searching for "substack.com" in the url. I do this via a CloudFlare worker that has 3 separate cron triggers: (1) fetches new stories every 10 minutes and saves them in a KV store. (2) runs 2 minutes after the first, computes hot stories from new ones by simulating HN's scor

I’ve been using Windows as my daily use lately despite I have been using Mac/Linux for a long time, but I keep running into all sorts of issues, so I’ve been fixing them vibe-coding with Claude. I’m gonna dump all that stuff on This blog is fully automated with Claude Code, from coding all the way to reporting. It’s nothing special—anyone could do it—but it’s actually pretty fun once you try it. The only annoyed is that it burns through tokens like crazy. Most of the tips are pretty interesting, so I hope you find them useful.

Search YouTube channel transcripts to research content and build fair-use clips.

Built an entire YouTube research platform with @AnthropicAI Claude Code. a YouTube research tool that treats entire channels as a searchable transcript database rather than individual videos. Any YouTube channel. Every word. Fully searchable. Track how topics trend, peak, and evolve across hundreds of videos. Researching what someone said on YouTube means watching hours of footage and hoping you find it. ChannelScout extracts full transcripts from any channel, makes every word instantly searchable, and tracks how topics trend over time, without watching a single video manually. Paste a YouTube channel or playlist URL and it transcribes and indexes every transcript. Follow multiple channels and they all land in one private library. New videos on followed channels are auto-transcribed and added to your library the day they publish. Beyond YouTube it accepts any yt-dlp-supported URL including Vimeo, TED, and SoundCloud, and you can upload local files directly

Like everyone on HN, I love nothing more than to (re)read my own comments. Getting my intuition that I am among the smartest, most humble, highest quality commenters on here confirmed by an LLM so capable that the US government had to temporarily export restrict it [0] seemed only natural. Having had my perfection confirmed, I decided to share this joy with you as I had a few percent usage left before a reset. I took a few prompts, then did a review of the output which resulted in Selbstbild, a BYOK (Anthropic / OpenRouter) web app that gives you a summary and assessment of your public comments by one of our machine Gods, including Fable 5 (provided your can afford that luxury at API pricing). In all seriousness, I have, for a long time, used my own comments on social media (including HN) as part of a personal needle-in-haystack test, simply because I do know my somewhat peculiar style and what I tend to write, but also because I can sometimes write in a slightly confusing manner, ma
