A command-line tool, a Rust lib, and a GraphQL API to get HN stories

In plain words

This tool provides multiple interfaces for accessing Hacker News stories: a command-line utility, a Rust library, and a GraphQL API. Developers can query HN data programmatically through their preferred method, whether working in Rust, building command-line applications, or integrating via GraphQL. The project is hosted on GitHub and serves developers who want structured access to Hacker News content.

  I made a search engine for Hacker News2024 · hackernews.demo.vectara.com · ▲211

  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.

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
