HackerComments.ai reimagines how you explore HackerNews discussions by extracting and organizing comments into digestible sections like TL;DR summaries, a 3D comments mind map, debate highlights, and key user insights. Say goodbye to endless scrolling through nested threads and get a holistic view of the conversation in just a few clicks.
So, using my 9PM-12AM for so many days, I built HackerComments.ai – a reimagined way to explore HackerNews discussions. Instead of scrolling endlessly through nested threads, HackerComments extracts, summarizes, and organizes comments into these sections:
TL;DR – A quick summary of key takeaways
Comments Mind Map – A 3D force graph to visualize discussions
Comments Highlights – Top topics that people are debating
User Perspectives – Insights from key contributors
This was my first solo full-stack project, and I couldn’t have done it without LLMs and GenAI. I can build models and algorithms, but software and infra weren’t my expertise. AI made it all more accessible, from coding to simplifying complex discussions.
Very usable on mobile too
Love seeing the insights into different discussions. It’s great to have a dashboard-type interface for conversations
