The Crawl Times – Newspaper-style front pages for tech news sites
I built a small experiment that crawls tech-news-adjacent sites (like HN) and generates a newspaper-style front page for each one. This was inspired by Cloudflare's recent (controversial?) release of their /crawl API. It runs periodic crawls, picks up the top stories, and lays them out in a classic broadsheet format: top story, trending section, briefs, etc. Basically a daily edition of your favorite tech site. Nothing serious, just a weeknight project to play with Cloudflare's /crawl API and a few of their other tech offerings (workers, D1, etc.). I'm not in any way sponsored by…

I built a tech news aggregator that works the way my brain does2025 · deadstack.net · ▲188An honest to god, non-algorithmic reverse chrono list of tech news that passes my signal-to-noise tests, updated hourly. A lightweight a page design as I've been able to keep; simple, clean, fast. No commercial features or aspirations - this is a passion project, something I've been fooling around with on and off for decades. There's a "Top" view too with an LLM edited front page & summary, and categorized views for a large number of topics - see the Directory. A few more buried features to explore, but the fundamental use case is pop in, scan, exit - fast and concise. Your feedback would be…
- TLTop Links from Hacker News, Reddit, Techmeme, PH on a Single Page2022 · alltoplinks.com · ▲131
Hi HN, this is something I created for my personal use and I have been using it daily for a long time now. It’s a page that shows top 25 links from the sources mentioned in the title. Updates every 10 minutes through a cron job and new links are always added to the top. Some more details: It’s using simple heuristics like minimum upvotes/comments to select the links. For techmeme, only the first headline on techmeme.com is considered a top link. For reddit, currently fetching content from only a select few subreddits. It’s just a simple page. No ad. No tracking. It’s the first tab I…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
