Newzino
I’m building Newzino (a story-tracking news site). I just added a feature called Voices: a set of fictional, AI-generated pastiches of historical writers/thinkers reacting to the story. It’s explicitly labeled as fictional (“AI-generated pastiche… not real quotes”). The goal isn’t “fake quotes” — it’s: - a fast way to get multiple perspectives - more blunt critique than modern “safe” corporate-speak - a tool to stress-test the narrative/incentives around a story Would love feedback on: - whether this is useful vs. cringe - obvious ethical/UI pitfalls - which historical voices…
Newzino launched on February 4, 2026 with 2 votes, #6,500 of 16,627 launches that month.
What it does
Track high-signal stories as evolving arcs. News organized by mechanism of change (rules, money, new capabilities, force, built world), with timelines, key indicators, scenarios, and optional AI “Voices from History” for perspective.

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 --…

Hey there HN! I believe the future of AI communication will be more voice and less text. Low-latency realistic voice interactions are finally becoming feasible. I've built a few voice-first apps on Retell AI using Elevenlabs voices. This one uses Claude Haiku for responses and Mixtral to switch between posts and comments. The AI knows about the top 30 posts and their comments on Hacker News right now. After a Google sign-in you can try it free for 10 minutes. I'd love to hear your thoughts!
ScriptmineFeb 2026 · scriptmine.ai · ▲86I built this for myself. I make videos, and my biggest bottleneck is figuring out what to say to my audience without staring at a blank page. So I built Scriptmine: a tool that listens to Reddit conversations in my niche, finds high-signal topics, and turns them into scripts. How it works: - Track subreddits and discussions relevant to a niche - Rank topics by engagement/momentum - Generate a hook/body/CTA draft in a chosen voice/format
- MFMy first full stack project2023 · plotnotes.ai · ▲36
Just finished my second year at college studying Computer Science, and wanted to try and gain experience as a full stack dev this summer, so I made a website that allows users to create stories using openai's API, using embeddings for custom terms users can define, and create short stories and chapters alike. I'm mainly just looking for some feedback on how I can improve it or make it more presentable, so any help/feedback is welcome and appreciated!
- NPNarratives Project – A news product for a more peaceful internet2022 · ▲91
Hey HN! I’m Shaun, and I started the Narratives Project (https://www.narrativesproject.com/), a non-profit that presents divisive news events as contrasting narratives to show why people disagree. Our goal is to lower people’s distress about the news and animosity towards those they disagree with. Our current news media system incites instead of informs. On-the-ground reporting has been replaced by armchair journalism, most people are locked in viewpoint silos that are occasionally penetrated by the worst of the other side, and the entire system is in an escalating panic about…
- IBI build a dedicated news site for AI developers (think HN for AI/ML)2023 · news.aiapipro.com · ▲8
Think of HackerNews, but only for AI content. Did build this out of the wish for easier discoverability of new technologies in the AI/ML space. Obviously, so far only a tiny small community, but maybe a few of you find it nice to be around and want to post a link there every now and then :)

Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
