I built a tool to remove news articles from HN
I built a tool to remove news articles from HN launched on May 6, 2020 with 131 votes, #249 of 4,813 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 6 years on.
In plain words
This tool filters news articles from Hacker News, allowing users to browse the site while excluding news-related content. Designed for those who prefer to focus on other types of posts like discussions, launches, and technical content, it provides an alternative viewing experience of Hacker News without the news category. The tool is accessed through a simple web interface.

Would love to hear feedback and how useful this is relative to the existing search.

hcker.news – an ergonomic, timeline-based Hacker News front page2025 · hcker.news · ▲180Hi folks, I've built an alternative Hacker News front page. It is inspired by and meant to be a replacement for hckrnews.com. I built this because HN is woefully underfeatured, but most sites that try to improve it seem to assume that the visual design is the problem. hcker.news tries to maintain HN's familiarity while adding useful enhancements. There are three primary views: - Timeline View: Browse top stories by votes or comments grouped by day, week, or month (e.g., top 20 per day, top 100 per week). - Aggregate View: See top stories by votes or comments over custom time ranges. - Front…
