alt Hacker NewsShow HN: Wikihack – HackerTube, but for Wikipedia articles mentioned on HN
After seeing Karpathy's Hackertube and Hackerbooks, I just had to make Wikihack.
I scraped all mentions of wikipedia on hackernews and ranked them, and turn them into a scrollable feed to make it a bit more easy to digest / interact with. You can see where people submitted the articles and where people mentioned it in comments.
The top shows the most frequently linked articles.
Random is random but slightly weighted towards the more frequently linked articles (a little bit like Wikipedia actually).
Rising is ranked towards the past 12 months.
The entire site is served only through the frontend -- I'll add more features if people enjoy this!

Cool project!
I’d appreciate if the site didn’t hijack my scroll wheel though. It currently doesn’t let me scroll through the page at my own speed, which is super annoying, plus it hides any scroll bar (which would have served as my escape hatch for scrolling).
Coming soon: HackerHackerTube, my website that recommends HackerTube variants posted on HN!
Hey, nice, I built roughly the same during the covid era pre AI.
We have a continuously updated, publicly accessible hackernews database in BigQuery, in case more of you folks are interested in building similar projects:

Clickhouse equivalent, updated in real-time: https://play.clickhouse.com/play?user=play#U0VMRUNUIG1heCh0a...

What's missing are entity-level extracted data, and embeddings.
I would just love it if the front page were full of "Show HN: HackerFoo" posts for two weeks now.
Coming soon: HackerHacker, HackerX, HackerGitHub, HackerAliExpress and HackerP*nHub!
Let's raise the bar. Create HackerDump - it's like HackerNews but only shows the articles you read in the toilet...
Pls buy some nice domain for project and then we can talk :). I am a bit tired to bookmark a project that disappears in few weeks when traffic via Netlify grows and isn’t free anymore…
I like that it links to the actual HN comments (I don't think Karpathy's yt equivalent did that), and tbh I enjoy reading the context in which articles/videos are mentioned as much (or more) than the articles/videos themselves.
How about a light themed version for those of us with vision problems?
Great job! As a little suggestion, it'd be great if this could also process non-English Wikipedia articles, because some niche (usually culture-specific) topics do not exist in English Wikipedia, and I believe there is quite a bit of value in exposing these.
Show HN: Hacker News - HackerTube, but for articles posted on HN.
Can someone just gather up all the media types that HN recommends and put them in one collection?
I get it: HN people give generally good recommendations to the HN crowd.
Next up: Hacker Games, Hacker Niche Social Media sites, Hacker Enterpreneurship blogs, Hacker Art, Hacker Instagram Channels To Follow.
Bundle it and call it: Hacker Index or something ;-)

On the desktop this seems to be only rendered for mobile.
Pls somebody make hackertwitter save us from Elon
Sweet. Now I just need someone to build one for phone apps, one for desktop software, and one for Web apps and I think I'll be all sorted.
Can we next do FruitHack? HackerTube, but for fruits mentioned on HN
Will Betteridge’s Law of Headlines Fail to Take Number One Spot?
We are now past the "intellectual curiosity" era of Show HN and it has now entered into its fast food slop age.
Every vibe coded software I’m following has stopped updates after about a week. Is this a change of interest in the developer or did they get lost in the code slop and the AI hit context limits to quality essentially locking out further changes?
looks like slop though

I'll skip you guys some time, hackerstuff - all media links, entities and people mentioned on HN, weighted by posters karma.
We could even display them together sorted by the newest one, maybe with some associated comments.
