Hi Product Hunt! I'm the maker of HackerPage.
Hacker News comments are full of great recommendations: the paper that changed how someone thinks about compilers, the blog they have read for ten years, the homebrew CPU project that taught them electronics. But those links get buried in old threads.
HackerPage digs them back up. We went through every Hacker News comment since 2007 and kept the links that people recommend again and again. To make the list, a link needs at least 3 different people recommending it, in at least 3 different months, and each mention has to come with a real comment, not a bare link. Items are ranked by how many separate months people kept recommending them, so a classic beats a one-week hype spike.
You get 4,755 items in three sections:
- Papers and science: Reflections on Trusting Trust, the Bitcoin whitepaper, Programming as Theory Building...
- Hardware and retro: Nand2Tetris, Agner Fog's optimization guides, GreenArrays...
- Blogs and digital gardens: personal sites people keep coming back to.
Each item shows what HN commenters actually said about it, with links back to the original threads, plus a chart of how many people recommended it each year. Claude helped write the short summaries and topic tags. Every quote is checked to appear word for word in a real comment.
A few small things I like:
- No account and no tracking. Your saved list and "for you" picks stay in your browser.
- "Rising" shows what people started recommending in the last year.
- It looks like a terminal. Press / to search, and pick from several color themes and fonts.
- It's free.
The idea comes from HackerTube and HackerBooks, which do the same for videos and books.
I'd love to know: what is the one link you always recommend on HN, and is it on the list?
