Show HN: Hacker Times, a New York Times-inspired version of Hacker News

havik772

This reminds me of an idea I had a while ago; it would be nice if I could receive a paper daily/weekly of interesting articles, updates in the world, think pieces, etc. that weren't as broad as daily news or as opinionated. Just things that people found interesting or things happening around us without the political bias (on either side). The paper side would just be to anti-digitize my life more, feels like it would be almost like a paper RSS feed.

add an AI section that is filtered out of technology and you'd have yourself a nice way to browse HN.

Just for your information, if you care about the reachability of your project: this site, like all ChatGPT sites, is blocked in countries that are banned by ChatGPT (e.g., Hong Kong). And because it uses a custom domain, it cannot be automatically proxied as I have set up for ChatGPT domains, which is slightly annoying.

Needs a better title font for headlines. Georgia Bold is not fit for the purpose, and there's no earthly reason to use it at 55px. There are so many good serif fonts to choose from on Google Fonts. An embarrassment of riches.

This is so cool! Definitely liked the title font :) I do wonder if this kind of republishing is compliant with the original site? As in, if one can store the content vs. not and just lazily convert live - have been curious about the copyright rules & practices in this area.

Archive link?

I'm liking all of the remixes. We built a combined books/video version as well in our app library. https://medium.com/@vektormemory/vektor-2-0-4-hacker-news-bo...

I don’t think the pay wall is working.

This is great! Very readable and feels like a nice way to browse articles. I tend to gloss over stuff in the HN wall of text sometimes so this breaks the links up in a useful way. Nice job.

i'm open to the idea that its the NYTimes that needs a HN inspired version

What about the ads, the tracking, the pop-ups and the limited-time special offers?

At least on mobile, the format is much more reminiscent of slashdot. Man, what a tragic waste of a great .com era community. The whole community self-moderation thing worked ok before the more worthwhile people left. Now they can’t even be arsed to pop by once an hour to remove the multi-page swastika ascii art comments.

HN reminds me a lot of Instagram. People complain about AI generated content, then proceeds to give a dancing cat AI reel 1 million likes. People here complain about vibe coded apps, then proceed to upvote this to the front page.

so hacker tube, hacker books and now hacker times. what's next? hacker food?

I remember there was a similar project like this posted a while ago. Turns out there are multiple. Here are just a few (that are still online): A couple of months ago (so probably vibe-coded too): https://thefrontpage.dev/ https://times.hntrends.net/ https://hackernewstimes.com/ This one even from 6 years ago: https://www.wolfgangfaust.com/project/paper-hn/ ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23669650 , 627 points, 133 comments) https://hn.algolia.com/?q=hackernews+newspaper

Neat. To-do: Give HN the ONION treatment? :-) https://theonion.com/

> Masthead set in Manufacturing Consent I like the description for Manufacturing Consent font: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Manufacturing+Consent/abou... https://github.com/google/fonts/blob/main/ofl/manufacturingc...

Click here for this one weird trick… But honestly, the headlines there are refreshing

Having the paragraph under the title reminds me of slashdot.org.
