HNRelevant VS gifDisco

I made HNRelevant, a web extension for HN (https://github.com/imdj/HNRelevant).

The extension adds a section for related discussions for each submission page. Many times, I found myself intrigued by interesting discussions which left me hungry for more and I'd go down a rabbit hole, or maybe it was promising but didn't get enough attention and I'd need to check if there were any related discussions in the past about the same subject.

I found that even though HN is a news aggreagator, many discussions on HN are timeless (just like this here).

I'm proud of it and find the experience and flow to be very enjoyable. It also helps me find great stories that I might not have stumbled across.

You can use userscripts [1] which is a safari extension which allows you to add userscripts, and the author of this work have an userscript [2] that you can use with safari (or any other browser)

This is an extension for hacker news that I made some time ago and shared here initially at the very beginning.

It's basically hn.algolia.com integrated into the HN.

I found that a lot of posts have more backstory to it, and maybe there were similar posts in the past with valuable discussions that the current post may fall short on or just didn't reach enough people.

It display relevant submissions in intergrated sidebar right in the page you're on, for smooth experience & native look (it rely on the same stylesheet).

The plugin is available on Chrome, Firefox and as a userscript.

It's extremely silly and inefficient but I love making random disco gifs: https://github.com/egeozcan/gifDisco

I could write a fairly useless program with nearly half the amount of lines!!:

Being able to write silly stuff because you can is immensely satisfying.
