The Almanac

Hi HN, We’ve been building The Almanac, a tool that creates Wikipedia-style articles for any person using their full public online footprint. Unlike Linkedin where people have to maintain their own profile, we automatically crawl the internet for their roles, art, projects, collaborations, publications, media mentions, everything that’s actually documented. You can make a profile for yourself or anyone else by generating it. A few things we focused on: Identity disambiguation: reliably separating people with similar names - this is very tricky and something that GPT/Perplexity gets…

The Almanac launched on December 11, 2025 with 98 votes, #311 of 11,628 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was not reachable when checked in September 2026.

What it does

Almanac lets you type any name and instantly see a professional, public-facing profile for that person. Search yourself or anyone else, if the profile does not exist yet, you can generate it in <10s. We crawl the public web, reconcile sources, and writes a detailed, neutral biography with a profile card, timeline, and key highlights. The related-people section links connections to other people so you can quickly see how everyone is connected. Share your Almanac page as your go-to bio link.

In the maker’s words, at launch

  • Community, All the HN belong to you. This is an archive of hacker news that fits in your browser. When I made HN Made of Primes I realized I could probably do this offline sqlite&#x2F;wasm thing with the whole GBs of archive. The whole dataset. So I tried it, and this is it. Have Hacker News on your device. Go to this repo (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;DOSAYGO-STUDIO&#x2F;HackerBook): you can download it. Big Query -> ETL -> npx serve docs - that's it. 20 years of HN arguments and beauty, can be yours forever. So they'll never die. Ever. It's the unkillable static archive of HN and it's…
