I've been working on a little website to pull out links from the comments on the "Ask HN" page. Often there is some great advice in there, and it seemed in the spirit of Hacker News to automate that.

Love this. Some ideas:

It would be nice to be able to provide a link to an older post and get the links.

Stats, such as top sites included across posts (all-time, this year, etc.), or posts with most links.

Thanks! I like those ideas. Definitely been pondering better ways to filter the links and ensure the most relevant ones rise in prominence.
Something that might be useful (and maybe pay for hosting/aws/whatever costs) is to find products people mention and get affiliate links going. That is if you want to monetize it, if not thats cool too.

An example - I posted a question about non standard keyboard/mouse setups for coding. There were a lot of product mentions in there and what people are doing with them. Not a lot of links though so it would take some text processing.

I really like this. Something about the minimalism, and peaks my curiosity as to what was said about each link. Funny that this thread and https://www.askhnwisdom.com/ is in the list :-)
This looks like it could be really useful with a bit of work. Right now it misses context though. It might be great with certain threads like book recommendations.
