I remember there was a similar project like this posted a while ago. Turns out there are multiple. Here are just a few (that are still online):
A couple of months ago (so probably vibe-coded too):
This one even from 6 years ago:

yeah but to be fair, those all just show posts with the same title. This one actually come up with pretty good headlines and summaries based on the articles themselves and I think actually are quite good for LLM-written content. It probably took some effort to get it to match NYT tone/style in writing and I found some of the headlines much better than the original ones though some of the charm of HN is titles that are unclear enough to make you go to the article only to find it's not about what you thought.
Might appreciate a print version of this mailed to my house :)
I find this new one to be the best to look at. Layout, design, fonts. I'm not sure about the content but feels good to my eye
I quite liked https://hackernewstimes.com because it let's you see the articles and HN comments in a split pane.
No shame in doing something that already exists for yourself. But at this point I think it wouldn't be asked too much to just ask your favorite agent to check first if someone already implemented your idea in the past and then consider if your vision is really distinct enough to warrant anther instance of whatever you want to build.
I actually liked https://thefrontpage.dev/
A shame that it broke a few weeks ago. These projects tends to get abandoned after a while.
wow quite a list - my version of it is https://thedailyfront.johnnys.page which I built for myself, to read it on my tablet on my way to the office. A new issue is generated automatically every morning. My goal was to have something that is self-contained with every article directly readable on the site and to have the discussion there as well
HN keeps reinventing HN-flavored things.
I built this to aggregate all the aggregators (like HackerTube, Hackerbooks etc.) that were popular a few days ago (they go back to 2011, at least).
