Show HN: Wikihack – HackerTube, but for Wikipedia articles mentioned on HN(wikihack.netlify.app)
After seeing Karpathy's Hackertube and Hackerbooks, I just had to make Wikihack.

I scraped all mentions of wikipedia on hackernews and ranked them, and turn them into a scrollable feed to make it a bit more easy to digest / interact with. You can see where people submitted the articles and where people mentioned it in comments.

The top shows the most frequently linked articles.

Random is random but slightly weighted towards the more frequently linked articles (a little bit like Wikipedia actually).

Rising is ranked towards the past 12 months.

The entire site is served only through the frontend -- I'll add more features if people enjoy this!

Now just add a ranking

Obviously the dropbox comment would be the most cited. But I wonder what number two would be

HackerUsers: List of HN accounts and their skill set. Since I already got emails from my HN comments I'm sure some big consultancy companies already have this in place.

What a sad dystopian future...

Podcasts would be one I might actually be interested in

If I had time, I’d do HackerOverflow - all threads where HN users help answer technical questions and help debugging!

That's going to be a very short list then.

Cool project!

I’d appreciate if the site didn’t hijack my scroll wheel though. It currently doesn’t let me scroll through the page at my own speed, which is super annoying, plus it hides any scroll bar (which would have served as my escape hatch for scrolling).

Let's raise the bar. Create HackerDump - it's like HackerNews but only shows the articles you read in the toilet...

I would just love it if the front page were full of "Show HN: HackerFoo" posts for two weeks now.

I mean the hype cycles usually don't last that long anymore these days? It will get old by Friday.

Pls buy some nice domain for project and then we can talk :). I am a bit tired to bookmark a project that disappears in few weeks when traffic via Netlify grows and isn’t free anymore…

There's so many dead domains though.

I mean, Im probably never going to bookmark a netlify url. A domain cost $3.00.

If someone doesnt care enough to invest $3.00 in their project I'm not going to use it.

On more than one occasion a friend has sent me a netlify link asking for my opinion on a business or product and Ive replied that its a throwaway project.

Especially because you could just buy your name as a domain, then put all your projects as subdomains off it. I have like, a billion projects off my co-op's subdomain, which costs us, idk, a hundred bucks a year?

I like that it links to the actual HN comments (I don't think Karpathy's yt equivalent did that), and tbh I enjoy reading the context in which articles/videos are mentioned as much (or more) than the articles/videos themselves.

Click through on HackerTube took you from thumbnail wall to a specific video summary with AI context summary and links to user comments.

( I read my own past comments several times. Brrrr )

Thank you I see them now. Since I enjoy reading the HN comments more than (and often prior to) the video itself, I'd love the comments to be on hover or sidebar (like Wikihack) on the main page so I can use them to decide whether to invest time on the video.

One video may have been linked to in multiple comments, which is why each comment that links to the video is enumerated under the video.

Great job! As a little suggestion, it'd be great if this could also process non-English Wikipedia articles, because some niche (usually culture-specific) topics do not exist in English Wikipedia, and I believe there is quite a bit of value in exposing these.

Show HN: Hacker News - HackerTube, but for articles posted on HN.

Can someone just gather up all the media types that HN recommends and put them in one collection?

I get it: HN people give generally good recommendations to the HN crowd.

Next up: Hacker Games, Hacker Niche Social Media sites, Hacker Enterpreneurship blogs, Hacker Art, Hacker Instagram Channels To Follow.

Bundle it and call it: Hacker Index or something ;-)
