If you want a live version of most of the site (including tracking new comments in items you've already looked at), I made this to improve my React skills when the HN API first came out:

Wow it looks really cool, I think I might enjoy actually using it as the main way to view the site

I was going to say the same thing too!

I just wish there was a dark mode.. Let me install night reader to see how well it looks :p

Edit: would've loved if there was a way to sign up or make comments from there, oh well :< I wish there was, I am not sure if that's possible tho but I hope it could be.

Actual step we're at with vibe coding: https://www.reddit.com/r/vibecoding/comments/1mu6t8z/whats_t...


That’s hilarious. Yep still gotta know what you are doing.

Good time saver though, if you do.


Walk less, get fat. Write less code, get ..


"Sloppy". Word of the decade.


I've said this before: Coding with agentic LLMs is just project management.

Splitting tasks into small verifiable chunks that can be completed in a reasonable time frame (Context window).


Google tells you what they're going to do to the web with a question mark on the end.


It's called uptalking.


Control Panel for YouTube lets you hide Home, Shorts, Related videos, plus anything you don't want to see in Subscriptions (including videos you've already watched), plus you can disable autoplay of random videos, block ads and more, in YouTube itself.

The original Electron! Pity the versions of IE it was available for were still hell to debug in.


Back in those days you had to install the Office Scripting Debugger, I think that was the name, when browser debuggers were still extensions.


I added muting and annotating users to my Hacker News extension:

It even works for Safari, which I didn't expect, and it's free.

Thank you so much!


Neat, worth a try. Thank you!


Node has had a built-in --watch flag for a while too:

Surprisingly this gone unheralded.


It's the most direct way to break the "magic computer" spell in users of all levels of understanding and ability. You stand it up next to the marketing deliberately laden with keywords related to human cognition, intended to induce the reader to anthropomorphise the product, and it immediately makes it look as silly as it truly is.

I work on the internal LLM chat app for a F100, so I see users who need that "oh!" moment daily. When this did the rounds again recently, I disabled our code execution tool which would normally work around it and the latest version of Claude, with "Thinking" toggled on, immediately got it wrong. It's perpetually current.


I've never seen so many different names at once for "LLM chat completion API call"
