http://www.hnshowcase.com<p>Moses (nnythm) and I browse Hacker News daily. Show HN posts are some of our favorite parts of HN. We wanted to create a way to browse Show HN articles, even those that might not quite make it to the front page. We created http://www.hnshowcase.com last weekend to make discovering projects posted on HN easier. It searches all "Show HN" posts and generates a thumbnail view for each of them. You can sort by submission date, points, and number of comments, and navigate with left/right or j/k keys.<p>We used the following technologies:<p>HN Search API, Pyramid web framework, jQuery, url2png and thumbalizr for thumbnail generation, and dotCloud for hosting.<p>Let us know what you think and how we can improve the user experience!
Nice!<p>Someone should make a website linking all the little improvements like this people have made to HN.<p>EDIT: When I'm on page 2 ordered by date, then click on order by points, it takes me to page to ordered by points. It should take me to the start.
Oh, wow..love the site! I frequently check out "Show HN" posts. I mostly view the feedback that was given. I like that you included a preview and link to the comments section.<p>EDIT: I tried it out more. It would be nice to have a search option too.
Looks great! One suggestion, maybe have the links open in a new window. I know this annoys some people, but it makes it easier to get back to your site after looking at someone's project. I don't always remember to control click on the links.
Definitely found some stuff to vote up.<p>Interactive JavaScript PID Demo: <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2810771" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2810771</a>
