I built (well, vibe-coded) a version of this a while back that runs against the Hacker News API, it's static HTML on GitHub Pages so I don't have to run a server for it: https://tools.simonwillison.net/hacker-news-filtered

interesting but i rarely use any HN reader

there's just something about this UI and its consistency

I also don't mind all the AI related news

If anything I just wish they had a mute/block button. its not fun when somebody is stalking you replying to every comment you make.

How often do you use it?

Immediately I started thinking how nice it would be to use natural language to have LLMs generate a deterministic filter for stories matching content I DO care about, filtered from New. Instead of filtering it out.

Love that this is configurable unlike OPs version. That way I can exclude "I rewrote ____ in Rust".

Would be nice to have "include" option... for those of use who may want to ONLY read posts about AI or whatever else niche interest.
