How are you generating these lists
3 comments

If you click the website's name to the right of the title, it pulls up all the submissions from the same site:

https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=github.com/philipl

Even then I don't see a direct way to extract a list like this.
I think it's safe to assume that dang has access to tools that we mortals are unable to comprehend, without being driven to madness.
For this use case, of finding related threads, I thought he wrote not special tools, but rather uses just

https://hn.algolia.com/

Even using algolia, I don't see a way to generate a list in this exact format.

I think ChrisMarshallNY is right, dang has access to eldritch powers.

the Glider HN app for Android shows related posts with high overlap to dang's list, so it must be possible for mere mortals after all.
I can only imagine opening dbeaver and running "select * from hn.posts where site like '%github.com/philipl`"
He’s the mod hero from HN
