I didn't realise I had 2 entries in the top 20…<p>My attention tends to navigate towards "Show HN" posts when I'm browsing HN. There's quite a few who actually use Bulma: Divjoy, Sinous, Open-Registry, Pino…<p>I'm really amazed by those hacking articles, like the retro video game console [1] or sorting 2 metric tons of Lego [2]. I've also come across very useful tools that have saved me lots of trouble, like this automatic subtitle synchronizer [3] or this iTunes replacement [4].<p>My favourite will still be "Spot the Drowning Child" [5], so incredibly useful.<p>[1]: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19393279" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19393279</a>

Hello HN!<p>I find myself spending time on Hacker News mostly in Show HN section, because I'm really curious what people around the world are making.<p>But I was wonder what were the best project were made for entire history of Show HN.<p>So I aggregated all Show HN posts, group them by most popular posts of a day, week, month, year (starting from 2008) by upvotes. Also it has search my popular tags or words.<p>And last but not least I found articles from most successful companies like Stripe, Dropbox, DuckDuckGo and Quora that started on Show HN including their old website using Way Back Machine.<p>Let me know what you think, I'd love feedback
It's great fun to browse older ideas and projects and to see them in a new light. But you're missing out on lots of postings from 2008-2012 because people used to preface the title with <i>Ask HN: Review {our,my}{startup,app,site,webapp} ...</i>. The convention to always start with <i>Show HN</i> seems to have come later.<p>Examples:<p><a href="https://hn.algolia.com/?query=%22Ask%20HN%3A%20Review%20our%22" rel="nofollow">https://hn.algolia.com/?query=%22Ask%20HN%3A%20Review%20our%...</a>
I like to support or at least not be critical of anything where I haven’t put in the work myself, so take this in the best spirit.<p>Is this substantially different from the built in search?<p>Example:<p><a href="https://hn.algolia.com/?q=SHOW+HN" rel="nofollow">https://hn.algolia.com/?q=SHOW+HN</a>
It would be cool to make a topic-specific Hackernews shin ranked by hotness for that topic. It’d be cool to focus in on topics I care about, not everything in Hackernews universe.<p>My theory is “What’s hot in Elasticsearch” would seem to be better answered with hacker news than a subreddit...<p>(Hackernews Search is only sortable by date or votes, neither of which gets at hotness)
Added new category "Young Talents" showing posts from kids:<p><a href="https://bestofshowhn.com/curated/young-talents/" rel="nofollow">https://bestofshowhn.com/curated/young-talents/</a><p>Very crazy to see when someone who is 14 years old who programmed an artificial intelligence bot.
Such a neat idea! I wonder if you would mind a suggestion?<p>The bright orange color really hurts my eyes. When I open the site on either a desktop or mobile device, the entire screen is filled with bright orange with a white heading, and a bunch of white buttons with bright orange labels.<p>I realize that is probably the "official" HN color, but on HN it's just a tiny strip of bright orange at the top, not an entire screenful.<p>And on <i>my</i> HN, the only bright orange I see is the Y logo. A long time ago I set my "topcolor" to "d0c8b5", which makes the top bar just a darker shade of the body background. The only time I see the bright orange top bar is on a non-logged-in device. For anyone else who finds the bright orange bar unpleasant, try that topcolor setting for some eye relief.<p>So my suggestion is to get rid of this bright orange completely, other than perhaps a small logo. Once I scroll down to the article listings, it looks fine, it's just that top section that is hard to look at. Thanks!
It's ironic that the number one post of all time is a 0-day disclosure of a hack of HN that no longer works but to HN's credit was also never removed.
