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

Click through on HackerTube took you from thumbnail wall to a specific video summary with AI context summary and links to user comments.

( I read my own past comments several times. Brrrr )

▲

nomilk 2 hours ago | parent [-]

Thank you I see them now. Since I enjoy reading the HN comments more than (and often prior to) the video itself, I'd love the comments to be on hover or sidebar (like Wikihack) on the main page so I can use them to decide whether to invest time on the video.

		One video may have been linked to in multiple comments, which is why each comment that links to the video is enumerated under the video.

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…

▲

ShinyLeftPad an hour ago | parent [-]

There's so many dead domains though.

▲

I mean, Im probably never going to bookmark a netlify url. A domain cost $3.00.

If someone doesnt care enough to invest $3.00 in their project I'm not going to use it.

On more than one occasion a friend has sent me a netlify link asking for my opinion on a business or product and Ive replied that its a throwaway project.

		Especially because you could just buy your name as a domain, then put all your projects as subdomains off it. I have like, a billion projects off my co-op's subdomain, which costs us, idk, a hundred bucks a year?

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 ;-)

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

I also doubt that youtube thing would have made it as high as it did if not for Karpathy.

Yeah influence has always had a huge effect but nowadays it feels like it starts to be the only thing that has an effect, as all these curiosity projects are low effort.
