Products that do what Infini-News – 1.36B news articles from Common Crawl, queryable in ms does
Infini-News is ten years of CC-NEWS (the news subset of Common Crawl), cleaned, enriched and turned into a full-text index so you can count any keyword or phrase across 1.36B articles in sub-second time (ok, now maybe a few seconds, but circumstantial), without downloading anything. It's free and open on Hugging Face. I did it because I was sick of having to manually scrape news websites and the like for research purposes and because it felt interesting personally to tackle a project of this scale. On top of data cleaning, we have run language, country (via TLDs and some other heuristics)…

I built a system that monitors ~200,000 news RSS feeds in near real-time and clusters related articles to show how stories spread across the web. It uses Snowflake’s Arctic model for embeddings and HNSW for fast similarity search. Each “story cluster” shows who published first, how fast it propagated, and how the narrative evolved as more outlets picked it up. Would love feedback on the architecture, scaling approach, and any ways to make the clusters more accurate or useful. Live demo: https://yandori.io/news-flow/

I love HN but always felt the search with algolia is okay but does have some limitations. Since I work at Vectara I decided to try and create a better search for HN. It's based on data from roughly the last 6 months of HN stories and comments. Would love to hear feedback and how useful this is relative to the existing search.

Hey there HN! I wanted to share a pet project of mine. I built HackYourNews [1] to scratch a personal itch: Knowing which stories to focus on while browsing aimlessly (though there is a certain joy in that, as well!) HackYourNews uses OpenAI's gpt-3.5-turbo to summarize the destination article as well as the comments section. Summarization of the article is always cached, while summaries of the comments are regenerated if the comments count is >10% (or >10 comments) different. While I styled the homepage to welcome HNers, my preferred view is the Mobile view, accessed from the navbar. This…

An honest to god, non-algorithmic reverse chrono list of tech news that passes my signal-to-noise tests, updated hourly. A lightweight a page design as I've been able to keep; simple, clean, fast. No commercial features or aspirations - this is a passion project, something I've been fooling around with on and off for decades. There's a "Top" view too with an LLM edited front page & summary, and categorized views for a large number of topics - see the Directory. A few more buried features to explore, but the fundamental use case is pop in, scan, exit - fast and concise. Your feedback would be…

Hello HN, We would like to present to you an advanced News API, that allows you to easily retrieve and process news articles from thousands of sources in different languages all over the world. Since our last submission, we have rewritten the project from scratch with a focus on cleansing and structuring the news data. Some of the advanced features of the new API: - clustering news articles into groups of related news - allows to detect news stories and assess how important / popular they are - detecting reprints and wired articles - allows to easily filter noise and get unique articles…

I've always felt it a bit hard to grasp how far news reach and all. Because I'm also a bit behind on python, I decided to build something from scratch. It's really simple: docker compose, micro services connected to some very basic data pipelines using rabbitMQ, and some local NLP. The NLP portion is a bit slow as it's pure CPU and doesn't leverage GPU/NPE if you have them. The tool offers you to define your own "labels" and "relations", which are then picked up by the local NLP models to assign it to news articles. Standard, there are only a few included. But the goal is to have your…

I got tired of reading clickbait articles and seeing irrelevant ads. So I pulled in a few RSS feeds to create a news digest using OpenAI 4o-mini for summarisation. Appreciate any feedback you'all might have. PS: News-summarisation may have been done to death, but I'm a UI noob, so I'm using this project to learn some.

Hey Hacker News community, We're excited to announce the launch of our new Chrome extension, "Hacker News Summarizer," which uses OpenAI API to summarize articles on Hacker News.

Simply install the extension and click the "summary" link next to "comments" when you want to read an article. Disclaimer: Not all articles are summarised, or supported but we will change and try to support them later. Additionally, this extension is not affiliated with OpenAI or…

Hey HN! I'm excited to share a tool I've been working on - a native Hacker News reader built with Rust and egui. Here's a screenshot: https://github.com/haojiang99/hacker_news_reader/blob/main/s.... As a daily HN reader, I've always struggled with keeping track of interesting posts I want to read later. Browser tabs pile up, bookmarks get forgotten, and I lose track of what I've already read. I needed a way to: 1. Browse HN efficiently (across all sections - hot, new, show, ask, jobs, best) 2. Quickly mark posts as "todo" for later reading 3. Mark posts as…

I decided to build my own AI feeds reader since I wanted features I couldn't find, or at least not in the way I wanted to, for instance: - Filter news by interest/category - Cluster same story from different sources into one - Show short summary of each new so you can skip if it's not really that interesting to you - Track relevant AI figures, but not only their tweets and posts but also their appearences in articles and interviews I'm still tuning it and improving it everyday.

I built a small experiment that crawls tech-news-adjacent sites (like HN) and generates a newspaper-style front page for each one. This was inspired by Cloudflare's recent (controversial?) release of their /crawl API. It runs periodic crawls, picks up the top stories, and lays them out in a classic broadsheet format: top story, trending section, briefs, etc. Basically a daily edition of your favorite tech site. Nothing serious, just a weeknight project to play with Cloudflare's /crawl API and a few of their other tech offerings (workers, D1, etc.). I'm not in any way sponsored by…
