Use Claude Code to Query 600 GB Indexes over Hacker News, ArXiv, etc.

In plain words

This tool lets users query 600 GB of indexed data from Hacker News, ArXiv, LessWrong, and other public sources using Claude Code. Users paste their research questions into Claude, which generates SQL queries to run against a searchable database combining traditional and vector search capabilities. The tool includes an alerts feature that emails users when specific, nuanced criteria are met in new posts or comments. It's designed for researchers and curious people who want to ask complex questions across millions of posts and comments without writing SQL themselves.

From the sources

Give your agent the internet hypercube. Effortlessly run programs over billions of documents for fun and profit.

Effortlessly run programs over billions of documents for fun and profit. Reddit, Hacker News, LessWrong, arXiv, Stack Exchange, Wikipedia, prediction markets and more, with millions of new posts and comments a day — rows by the thousand, or the answer itself, computed over every document that matches. Three fast query trails turn along the angled city grid and jump across present and historical layers, leaving long-lived paths behind them. People search for pages; agents can query the underlying records. The question an agent actually has is rarely ten links. It might need every page that mentions this compound but not that patent, grouped by domain, since March . Scry runs that as a query…from exopriors.com

In the maker’s words, at launch

Paste in my prompt to Claude Code with an embedded API key for accessing my public readonly SQL+vector database, and you have a state-of-the-art research tool over Hacker News, arXiv, LessWrong, and dozens of other high-quality public commons sites. Claude whips up the monster SQL queries that safely run on my…

  I used Claude Code to discover connections between 100 booksJan 2026 · trails.pieterma.es · ▲524

  I think LLMs are overused to summarise and underused to help us read deeper. I built a system for Claude Code to browse 100 non-fiction books and find interesting connections between them. I started out with a pipeline in stages, chaining together LLM calls to build up a context of the library. I was mainly getting back the insight that I was baking into the prompts, and the results weren't particularly surprising. On a whim, I gave CC access to my debug CLI tools and found that it wiped the floor with that approach. It gave actually interesting results and required very little orchestration…

  Claude Code Usage Monitor – real-time tracker to dodge usage cut-offs2025 · github.com · ▲245

  I kept slamming into Claude Code limits mid-session and couldn’t find a quick way to see how close I was getting, so I hacked together a tiny local tracker. Streams your prompt + completion usage in real time Predicts whether you’ll hit the cap before the session ends Runs 100 % locally (no auth, no server) Presets for Pro, Max × 5, Max × 20 — tweak a JSON if your plan’s different GitHub: https://github.com/Maciek-roboblog/Claude-Code-Usage-Monitor It’s already spared me a few “why did my run just stop?” moments, but it’s still rough around the edges.

  Claude Code History Viewer2025 · github.com · ▲92

  *Claude Code History Viewer – A macOS Desktop App for Reviewing Claude Code History at a Glance* Hello everyone, I have a habit of reviewing my coding history when working with AI. It's important to trace back and understand "how did I get to this result?" Recently, while using Claude Code, I found it quite inconvenient to check the history in separate terminal tabs or editor windows. So I built a desktop app called *Claude Code History Viewer* using *Tauri + React + Rust*. ## Key Features & Highlights * *Claude Code Conversation History Visualization* When you install Claude Code,…

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi 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…

  22 GB of Hacker News in SQLite▲730

  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/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://github.com/DOSAYGO-STUDIO/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…
