Show HN: HN Wrapped 2025 - an LLM reviews your year on HN(hn-wrapped.kadoa.com)

I was looking for some fun project to play around with the latest Gemini models and ended up building this :)

Enter your username and get:

- Generated roasts and stats based on your HN activity 2025

- Your personalized HN front page from 2035 (inspired by a recent Show HN [0])

- An xkcd-style comic of your HN persona

It uses the latest gemini-3-flash and gemini-3-pro-image (nano banana pro) models, which deliver pretty impressive and funny results.

A few examples:

- dang: https://hn-wrapped.kadoa.com/dang

- myself: https://hn-wrapped.kadoa.com/hubraumhugo

Give it a try and share yours :)

Happy holidays!

Hah, I feel seen! This is pretty funny

> You spend so much time fighting macOS animations and keyboard layouts that I am surprised you have any time left to actually use the computer you keep threatening to replace with a Framework

Yep that’s me.

As for 2026 prediction:

> You will write a 4,000-word HN essay arguing that Silksong’s difficulty curve is a direct allegory for the South Korean 'Hagwon' education system.

Yeah I can see that happening.

Damn, the roast could have been me 2-3 years ago when I still tried to make macos work for me lol. Thankfully, asahi saved my sanity.

This is so well-done - kinda surprised it's not getting more traction!

That was hilarious, uncannily accurate in some places.

  A romantic of the motherboard who thinks software engineering peaked at Xerox PARC and spent 2025 auditing every Show HN for missing source code while mourning the death of the em-dash. You will develop an LLM-powered sentiment analyzer that specifically detects when tech executives use 'fond farewell' to describe mass layoffs.

I got the following: "... a linguistic purist who will defend a 32-bit Atom CPU until the heat death of the universe or the next Debian update."

Interesting, semi-accurate, though with some of the other things it wrote, it was completely wrong: "You claim labels are limitations that prevent you from being yourself, then immediately spend 500 words explaining why your entire identity is based on being a 1%er." I wish I was a 1%er, sadly I'm on the other side of the spectrum, currently with no money, so I'm on my fourth day of not eating, though luckily I should receive my salary this week or the next, so it'll be alright!

This was a bit of fun. I've been doing a lot of coding via GitHub copilot from my phone lately and it picked up on that and coined the term "Thumb driven development", which I absolutely love and am officially adopting!

At first I was both amused and mildly annoyed at mine. Then I looked at the ones for some of the other HNers whom I follow and realized I got off easy.

It's good and gave me some queasy chuckles. But it's not as fun as the "HN Front Page" from a few days back.

I suspect there's kind of a feedback loop here. An algorithm does X well; it becomes easy to churn out X; we realize that X wasn't as skilful as we thought. In other words, this kind of satire will become seen as stilted and conventional, in the same way that AI art looks stilted and conventional to us today.

Mine made me laugh. Can’t say it’s wrong, either. :) https://hn-wrapped.kadoa.com/1123581321
