  • Ask HN: Can we get an option to show root comments only on HN?
    Https://hw.leftium.com/ shows only root comments. Example: https://hw.leftium.com/#/item/36200884 Can even show just root replies to a comment: https://hw.leftium.com/#/item/36201108 Each page has a link to the original HN page. --- My app doesn't show the default HN feed; it shows the list of all items that have hit the front page in reverse chronological order (like https://hckrnews.com/). If you want the... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
  • Show HN: Simple, readable, chronological front page items from Hacker News
    HckrWeb is my heavily modified fork of HackerWeb[1] with data from hckr news[2]. I mashed together the simple, readable UI of HackerWeb with the chronological ordering from hckr news. You can also share links to readable HN comments like this: https://hw.leftium.com/#/item/23741256 Source code available here: https://github.com/Leftium/hckrweb [1]: https://hackerwebapp.com/. - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

  • Ask HN: How to Make News Aggregation Work in 2024?
    When google did this long ago: https://news.google.com/ I knew the new industry was going to collapse. What more do you need from a new aggregator? Journalism was doomed since though. I had tried https://ground.news/ but never stuck with it. I like the idea but it fails at dimension. There is no left vs center vs right in Canada. Politics in Canada and Europe is 3 dimensional at least with wormholes in our... - Source: Hacker News / 20 days ago
  • Ask HN: Is there a website with only short summaries of the most important news?
    Https://news.google.com/ ? It has briefs, read it and close the tab. It’s that simple. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago
  • Looking for a way to add local news on a new tab
    If you like the Microsoft one, you can pin www.msn.com and for google its news.google.com. Source: 5 months ago
  • Is there a News category that will filter me latest news uploaded on YT?
    What I want to achieve is something like news.google.com but on YouTube, where I can get latest news about business for example, and then pick the topic (eg. Today are TSM stocks in trend, and I want to get all videos from today or yesterday about that topic from a News relevant channels.). Source: 6 months ago
  • Google to remove news links in Canada in response to online news law
    If what you were saying were true, i.e. That Canadian news will still be indexed on Google and will only disappear on news.google.com - then why are members of the Liberal government accusing big tech of planning to block Canadian news links? Are you saying that those government officials are spreading misinformation? Source: 11 months ago
