Ask HN: How do you use HN?
9 comments
Got a demo?
I am working on a smart RSS reader that uses transformers and other models to cluster and classify feed items. One feed item I incorporate is high-ranking comments from the HN API. I did try feeding all comments into the system for a short time and felt it was way too much.
I haven't put a lot of effort into quantifying it, but my system seems to do OK with HN comments mixed in with other content. I think the possibility of a comment-only feed looks promising.

Hello,
Currently, my script is in the very early stages of development, and I'm still in the process of fine-tuning it.
At its core, the script reads all comments of a given post and performs sentiment analysis to derive insights. While my immediate focus is on sentiment analysis, I plan to incorporate classification capabilities down the line. The results will be presented on a web interface in the form of graphs and text to help users better understand the data.

> By the way, I was wondering if you have any recommended tools or extensions that you use on HN?

I had seen this before but never tried it. I installed it today and I'm really enjoying it. Thank you for sharing
i use this one too but it often drops/forgets the settings, and i have to set it all colors and margins all over again.
once a day, i go through all "new" from the last 24 hours.
Same, but i also favorite the ones i want to read later and in the evening go through the comments of some of them. Some never get read though
yeah, once a day, like i said, i go through all "new" and 24 hours later, before repeating, i actually read yesterdays tabs, along with comments. then bookmark interesting once.
and yes, like you said, will never be read :)

Excessively
For the past 8 years, I've been an avid user of HN, yet it never occurred to me to publish a post until recently. During my time on the platform, I frequently toggled between the Home and Show HN tabs to keep up with the latest discussions.
However, I noticed that some posts were generating a significant number of responses, making it nearly impossible to keep up with them all. In my quest to find tools that could help me increase readability and highlight important responses, I scoured the internet, but unfortunately, I couldn't find anything that met my needs.
So I decided to take matters into my own hands and created a codebase that utilizes Tailwind typography and Hugging Face models to help me make sense of the sentiments expressed in the comments.
By the way, I was wondering if you have any recommended tools or extensions that you use on HN?
