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!

I remember this from last year! Awesome project - I'd love to see the code behind this.

These should become a permanent part of our profiles. :-)

I think mine confabulated criticism of a point of view as espousing that point of view.

This seems more like an LLM roasts your year on HN.

What are the prompts you're usign?

This gave me a good chuckle:

> You have mentioned being Australian at least five times as a personality trait just to remind us that our pennies are stupid and our tap-to-pay is thirty years behind yours.

Fair!

The XKCD comic generation was impressive.

The "your HN front page in 2035" doesn't really make sense to me because afaik personalised front pages are not a thing? (Or maybe they will be in 2035...)

It would have made more sense if it was "your upvoted submissions in 2035"

Genuine laughs. Thanks for sharing!

For posterity - wasn’t, still am not an s-base customer.

This is pretty fun. Can you make the year configurable?

Pretty fun overall. The roasts were really good, the stats were pretty neat, the predictions made me smile. The xkcdupe fell flat for me because it's pretty generic and I've seen many variants of it before, but still pretty impressive for an AI to make. The "Your HN Front Page in 2035" was definitely the weakest part for me. Maybe because every gag in it had already been done in other sections.

One thing I noticed is that it seems to give more weight to submissions (i.e. things I've submitted as posts) than to comments (or at least, doesn't let submissions get drowned in a sea of comments), which turns out as a good thing. And it doesn't seem to care about karma, which is also IMO a really good thing, makes it feel like a deep dive and keeps it interesting.

lol it claims I'm fiercely anti-Creative Cloud whereas I'm actually one of their oldest subscribers (literally signed up the day it was announced)

My last 2-3 months here have largely been posting about AI slop. But the prior 9 months were not, and included a lot of nuanced posting about how to make use of AI agents. I even got accused of being a shill at one point.

The wrapped is pretty much focused on the slop stuff. That's less interesting than the earlier parts of the year - I know what I've posted recently but have forgotten a lot more of what was going on a year ago or how the year developed.

Roasts can be amusing but I don't think they're the right vibe for a wrapped. I know it's harder to get an LLM to write something witty and insightful than a witty but shallow quip so maybe that's why roasts are here. Wrappeds are sort of infodumps though and LLMs are good at that, maybe there could be a two stage step where it reasons about some custom quirky stats or factoids that work based on your profile and then the second stage generates them.
