24 alternatives to Reddit GDPR Export Viewer – Built After Ban, Unban, Reban
Show HN: Reddit GDPR Export Viewer – Built After Getting Hacked, Reinstated, Then Banned Again A few months ago, I posted here about getting my 10-year Reddit account hacked despite 2FA: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45484294 The likely culprit: session cookie theft via a malicious browser extension, possibly linked to the ShadyPanda campaign that infected 4.3M browsers. Reddit eventually reinstated my account with zero explanation. Then, exactly one month later, they banned me again – permanently, with no reason given and no appeal process. This drove home a lesson:…

I used to work for Facebook and Google and constantly got asked questions like "Hey, my Instagram account got blocked for no reason. Could you help me get it back?". I'd say yes, it would take me 10 min to fill out an internal form and 1 week later the account was back. Even years after leaving, I still get these requests. So I built a marketplace for them. Let me know what you think!

Author here. This site lets you put in a username and get the users with the most similar writing style to that user. It confirmed several users who I suspected were alts and after informally asking around has identified abandoned accounts of people I know from many years ago. I made this site mostly to show how easy this is and how it can erode online privacy. If some guy with a little bit of Python, and $8 to rent a decent dedicated server for a day can make this, imagine what a company with millions of dollars and a couple dozen PhD linguists could do. Here's Paul Graham:…

Reddit's API is effectively dead for archival. Third-party apps are gone. Reddit has threatened to cut off access to the Pushshift dataset multiple times. But 3.28TB of Reddit history exists as a torrent right now, and I built a tool to turn it into something you can browse on your own hardware. The key point: This doesn't touch Reddit's servers. Ever. Download the Pushshift dataset, run my tool locally, get a fully browsable archive. Works on an air-gapped machine. Works on a Raspberry Pi serving your LAN. Works on a USB drive you hand to someone. What it does: Takes compressed data dumps…

I'm a solo dev. A few years ago, I got addicted to Reddit. Spent months in that loop. Being a programmer, I thought I'd be clever. Redirected Reddit's domain to nowhere in my DNS file. Worked great until I'd just... open the file and undo it 20 minutes later. So I made it irreversible. Locked the DNS file so it can't be edited unless I boot my Mac in safe mode. And if I do that, there's a script that instantly locks it again. Haven't used Reddit since last year. Problem solved, right? Wrong. I just replaced Reddit with Twitch and YouTube. Started keeping streams running in the background…

After months of using Google Analytics I realized only about 50% of people accepted my cookie-popup. I had months of incorrect data for my website. I started looking for alternatives and eventually found Plausible, which is great (and open-source). Problem is, I didn't feel like paying 9$ a month to see the amount of visitors on a website i didn't even earn anything on, it was just a hobby project. Eventually I started making my own web analytics. Which actually isn't that hard. It took me about a month of working on my spare time every now and then. Being GDPR compliant basically means to…

Hey guys, As Reddit makes it harder to use their API, I decided to make a wrapper around their undocumented JSON feeds. This allows you to get data from Reddit without authentication. This is only suitable for getting public data. I hope this helps someone out there. I'm also planning to make an android app via CapacitorJS using this library. Feel free to ask questions or give feedback. Thanks!

Hi yall! I've been using hacker news for a while but one of the things I started wanting recently was the ability to have alerts for any stories I post. The thing that pushed me over the edge was Hackclub's shipwrecked https://shipwrecked.hackclub.com/ (hackathon in the boston bay for anyone that can make 4 projects over the summer and get at least one of them to go viral). One of the options for "going viral" was to get to the front page of hacker news but I was constantly scared that I would miss it getting on there lol so I whipped up a quick slackbot to send alerts to a…

Inspired by the ongoing call-to-action by the Internet Archive team over at /r/DataHoarder [1], I've decided I want to try to preserve all cybersecurity related subreddits. [2] For people that don't know what's going on: There's a likelihood that the try to monetize the Reddit API will lead to a lot of moderators quitting the platform, and it could be that a lot of subreddits are going to be set on private and/or their threads are going to be deleted. At least that's kind of the fear from the ongoing moderator strike. In my case I learned a LOT from reddits' discussions about…

TLDR: I made a public only web analytics without signup. Stores views and visitors for 10 days before deleting data. Exactly 25 days ago today I posted here, proud of my new web analytics. The response was mixed and my post even got flagged (understandable). It was my first real launch and I actually made a sale just a day later of 49$(!). Back then my project was pay once, keep forever. Since then I have sadly went over to the dark side (subscription based). Anyways, I never went back to look at the post after the first two hours, turns out I got a lot of answers. Most answers was something…

One year after I published https://HackYourNews.com, I've rewritten it to be fully client-side and added support for a few more news sources via RSS feeds. Though HackYourNews.com v1 had a great response on HN [1] and consistently had ~2k weekly unique visitors, I couldn't figure out how to sustain the site, and I didn't want to gate access to it. There were also many long-standing requests that I wanted to fulfill (thanks for your patience!): a proper auto-detected dark mode, mobile device support, and bulleted summaries. This rewrite is the result. The browser reads the contents…

it's satire. You add one script tag and if you're in the EU it traps you in cookie banners you can't get out of. The reject button moves when you try to click it. the legitimate interest toggles turn themselves back on. the privacy policy is 47 pages. at the end you have to prove you're not american by clicking 27 buttons, one per country, in the local language. GET /v1/europeans returns a real 451. every banner is an actual EU law. the bottle caps that won't come off. the €16 tax stamp you buy from a tobacco shop in italy... next.js + sqlite, one file, self hosted. the redirect.js…

Hi HN, This is a little "HN Reader" experiment I made using a domain hack of "news.ycombinato.com" <- notice the "r" is missing. Basically, I thought it would be cool to make a "clone" of the "Hacker News" URL so you can quickly navigate to "YCombinato" from any post on "news.ycombinator" by just dropping the r in the domain. The benefit is a few extra features like; sorting, searching etc... Unfortunately I realized it's essentially a phishing attack :( according to the browser, which means there will probably be a warning message on most browsers... but it's still usable and hopefully…

Hi HN — solo developer here. I built this tool ~4 years ago purely to solve my own frustration with CORS and repeated proxy setup. The idea was intentionally boring: just prefix a URL and get control over the request and response. Somehow it grew to serving billions of requests per day, including usage by companies and universities. I’m sharing it here mainly to: - get technical feedback - learn what people would actually use a proxy like this for - understand what I should simplify or remove
