Display all stories and comments for a specific Hacker News user
Hi HN, I have been exploring the Hacker News API [0] a bit and came up with this simple way of exploring a user's past submissions including the comments [1]. It's been fun to dig through some of the old submissions and reading the comments, so I thought I'd share. https://simonpure.github.io/?user=pg Caveat: For accounts with a lot of submissions, it may take a while to load.

Display all stories and comments for a specific Hacker News user launched on October 7, 2023 with 11 votes, #1,449 of 4,393 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 3 years on.
In plain words
This tool retrieves and displays all stories and comments from a specific Hacker News user in one place. It works by querying the Hacker News API to compile a user's submission history alongside associated comments. It's designed for anyone wanting to explore a user's posting activity and discussions over time. Loading may take longer for users with extensive submission histories.

I saw this [0] pretty cool thread by user revskill, and wanted a quicker way to search through it, but also to keep them all in one place so I can read them at my leisure whenever I get time. Right now is like 60 lines of Ruby using Nokogiri, but I will certainly look into it further down the line and improve the list. There's a cronjob checking the thread every 12 hours but I will eventually shut that down and it will become static after that. There are some really awesome blogs in there. I really recommend going through the list, it made my day. [0] "Could you share your personal blog…

Talanoa▲346Hi 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. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
