Show HN: HN Hall of Fame – browse 3,100 legendary Hacker News links

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!

Also notable, the internal list that this may or may not derive from: https://news.ycombinator.com/highlights

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.

There's no type for People which I would have thought has provided some of the all time high scoring submissions.

One thing that most LLMs do in their UIs are way too small fonts and too much information density.

For example, the "max pts" text has no reason to be this small, there is easily enough space to the left.

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.

There is a code freeze coming up at may job, I'll probably browse through some of the links in the spare time. So thanks for curating this.

bookmarked. will never open again

>How Hall induction works

Well there's a thing called a Hall Effect sensor . . .

Love these websites! Design is very cool as well

The ole legendary blog post. Get these submitted to the National Register of Historic Blog Posts.

This is cool! Had to scroll way too far to find "wat" but it's a candidate.

Looks cool! Some of the listed posts are such a blast from the past

Good initiative

Can 3100 links be legendary? I feel like there can be at most 310 legendary links

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 :)

Very cool. Do you have any plans to aggregate book recommendations and papers (via doi perhaps or other link hints) as well?
