Filter and Monitor Hacker News Based on Your Interests
I was overwhelmed by the pace of AI news and papers coming out, so I built an automated HN news monitoring service that delivers relvant news straight to my inbox or RSS feed. It uses LLMs to extract, summarize, and classify the front page articles and analyzes the different perspectives in the comments. No more FOMO :)
Filter and Monitor Hacker News Based on Your Interests launched on January 6, 2024 with 10 votes, #1,325 of 4,437 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was not reachable when checked in September 2026.
In plain words
This service filters Hacker News articles based on user interests and delivers summaries directly to inbox or RSS feed. It uses large language models to extract, summarize, and classify front-page articles while analyzing different perspectives from comments. The tool is designed for people overwhelmed by the volume of news and wanting to focus only on topics relevant to them without missing important updates.

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…
TL;DR2025 · tl-dr.tv · ▲199I love Hacker News but I rarely have time to read full articles / comments, so I built a simple site to summarize the top posts & comments to make it easier to get a big picture. A few implementation details: - It pulls the top stories from the HN Firebase API (`/v0/topstories`) - Filters stories with >200 points - Uses Claude Sonnet for post + comment summaries - Tries to capture the sentiment of the comments (still working on improving this) - Refreshes both posts + summaries hourly It has already helped me I hope it helps you! Please let me know if you have any feedback --…
