Show HN: Wikihack – HackerTube, but for Wikipedia articles mentioned on HN

132 points • by aizk • today at 5:06 AM • 33 comments • view on HN

After seeing Karpathy's Hackertube and Hackerbooks, I just had to make Wikihack.

I scraped all mentions of wikipedia on hackernews and ranked them, and turn them into a scrollable feed to make it a bit more easy to digest / interact with. You can see where people submitted the articles and where people mentioned it in comments.

The top shows the most frequently linked articles.

Random is random but slightly weighted towards the more frequently linked articles (a little bit like Wikipedia actually).

Rising is ranked towards the past 12 months.

The entire site is served only through the frontend -- I'll add more features if people enjoy this!

Let's raise the bar. Create HackerDump - it's like HackerNews but only shows the articles you read in the toilet...

I would just love it if the front page were full of "Show HN: HackerFoo" posts for two weeks now.

I like that it links to the actual HN comments (I don't think Karpathy's yt equivalent did that), and tbh I enjoy reading the context in which articles/videos are mentioned as much (or more) than the articles/videos themselves.

Pls buy some nice domain for project and then we can talk :). I am a bit tired to bookmark a project that disappears in few weeks when traffic via Netlify grows and isn’t free anymore…

Show HN: Hacker News - HackerTube, but for articles posted on HN.

Great job! As a little suggestion, it'd be great if this could also process non-English Wikipedia articles, because some niche (usually culture-specific) topics do not exist in English Wikipedia, and I believe there is quite a bit of value in exposing these.

Can someone just gather up all the media types that HN recommends and put them in one collection?

I get it: HN people give generally good recommendations to the HN crowd.

Next up: Hacker Games, Hacker Niche Social Media sites, Hacker Enterpreneurship blogs, Hacker Art, Hacker Instagram Channels To Follow.

Bundle it and call it: Hacker Index or something ;-)

On the desktop this seems to be only rendered for mobile.

We are now past the "intellectual curiosity" era of Show HN and it has now entered into its fast food slop age.
