HackerDaily – What if HN updates only once a day?
A more informative and less addictive Hacker News.
HackerDaily – What if HN updates only once a day? launched on December 29, 2020 with 90 votes, #444 of 3,242 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 5 years on.
In plain words
HackerDaily delivers Hacker News content on a daily digest schedule instead of continuous updates. It consolidates the platform's discussions and submissions into a single daily release, allowing users to catch up on tech and startup news without constant refreshing. The service is designed for people who prefer batch reading over real-time feeds and want to stay informed without the distraction of continuous notifications.

I noticed I was getting side tracked reading Hacker News, checking back, reading articles, comments, etc. It felt like my productivity was being hampered so I created a simple web app to receive the most popular stories in a daily email. http://dailyhn.com

Hi HN. I was surprised that there wasn't a feature here that lets you go back in time to the front page of Hacker News on a random day...so I made one. http://randomhackernews.com is a simple HTML page that navigates you to the front page of HN on a random day between today and February 19, 2007 (the oldest date I could find with content). I made this for myself, but figured others may find some interest in it.

It's been a long slow hog and I almost gave up a few times (more than a few) but when covid hit this year it gave me some time to really focus on my product. There were stupid user journey things that I knew needed fixed. There were some features I knew needed added. And I knew the pricing was wrong. I spent some hardcore time working on these things back in March / April and since then my MRR has continued to grow. My product is SongBox (https://songbox.rocks) - it's an alternative to things like bandcamp and soundcloud for creators who need to share audio files privately.…
