In plain words

I Created HN Profile Widget is a tool that generates an embeddable widget displaying a Hacker News profile. It allows users to showcase their HN activity and stats on external websites or portfolios. The widget pulls live data from Hacker News profiles, making it useful for developers and tech professionals who want to highlight their participation in the HN community. It launched in 2016 and offers a simple way to integrate HN presence into personal web pages.

    Markdown HN profiles at {user}.at.hn2024 · at.hn · ▲459

    Very opportunistic toy project as I saw the domain was up for grabs: 'at.hn' is a little site where people can have their own subdomains for whatever their HN username is (opt-in only by adding a slug to your bio). It doesn't really do much. Just shows your HN bio rendered as markdown plus meta stuff. I'm thinking of adding an aggregated user listing on the homepage so people can explore profiles.
