hcker.news

hcker.news is an alternative Hacker News reader organised around search and filters instead of one ranked list. Stories and comments are searchable together, a match can be restricted to title, URL, body, or author, and results sort by popularity or recency inside a window running from twenty four hours to a year. The trick that spread was narrower: a link circulating on Hacker News opened the front page with AI stories filtered out, which is also where the name came from. Beyond reading, it keeps following lists, private notes, and sync across devices, and there is a browser extension for people who would rather stay on the original site. Nothing here replaces Hacker News itself; the material is the same front page, cut differently.
