Hey, nice, I built roughly the same during the covid era pre AI.

70 years later they looked it up and the cat is definitely dead.

It's quite funny that this submission is currently at the top of Show HN.

I also love them, so I built this website:

You may also like those other articles about Brazil which were posted on HN:

I don't want to spam, but I built this during the pandemic (pre ai). Maybe this is useful to you:

Yes, it did:

https://www.mostdiscussed.com/article/453137

The article was originally published on 2026-08-24 (probably tampered by HN for a second chance), so currently it's on position #6 on the news feed.

At your service, I'm running this since 2020:

Alibaba just open sourced their version of a CLI code review tool too.

Oh, nice execution. I had the same idea during the pandemic. Though my aesthetics are completely different as I focused more on the discussions on HN, as they often have some golden nuggets. Yours is of course way more polished, as I basically just slapped bootstrap on my database front end.

Interesting how different our "popularity score" is though: https://www.mostdiscussed.com/popular

You don't seem to group them by category, right? I found it quite interesting: https://www.mostdiscussed.com/popular/topics

Btw, your "new" tab seems to be broken, as it is showing articles from 2019.

NewPipe[0] is a client for YouTube on mobile. It's available on F-Droid and it hides the ads.

There are some forks floating around which also include SponsorBlock, but I haven't tested them yet.

At this point I thought you were going for an ahem heavy-handed joke.

Nice game, but this definitely needs a back button.
Re:Why Self-Host? on Friday October 10, 2025 @08:42AM (#45538329)
Uh, yeah, I thought about Nginx or Apache and would expect them to be more secure then your average self-written application.
Re:Why Self-Host? on Thursday October 09, 2025 @06:10PM (#45533629)
Yes, but the web server is just reading files from disk and not invoking an application server. So if you keep your web server up to date, you are at a much lesser risk than if you would also have to keep your application + programming environment secure.

Re:I Drank Every Cocktail on Thursday July 24, 2025 @03:12PM (#44674822)
Since the Ninja Creami hit the market as the "Pacojet Killer", I like to make my own lemon sorbet and Sgroppinos.

But of course I swapped the vodka for Limoncello.

No, they didn't reduce production, they just stopped scaling it with the rising demand.

Chartreuse got very popular in the last few years, and the monks started to produce more, but now they are at a point where they feel they a) earn enough money for the monastery and b) they claim scaling further hurts the sustainability.

So instead of producing more, they allocate the existing stock mostly to the hospitality business instead of the private consumer.

Don't pour it out, but deglaze your pan the next time you cook.

I know people here don't like site analytics, but for this one it's pretty good.

Setup Matomo or similar analytics software, write about a bunch of topics and review after a year which topics your readers are most interested in, for which they search on your site etc.

It seems you're copying your data from myanimelist.net, including the synopsis.

I'm not sure on the details anymore, but I can think this is infringing their copyright.

For https://www.anistats.com/ I chose to display the content from anilist.co and their graphql API. But this was 5 years ago I made this decision.

I don't know if this matters anymore or to you. But congrats for shipping.

And it's as easy to dox yourself by responding with the wrong account, as I have seen multiple times on Reddit.

Message the authors about this. Most website owners don't know their cms is also creating a rss/atom feed. Sometimes it took awhile, but I had moderate success with it.
