Histre is a site/browser extension that adds (AI-generated) tags to HN: <a href="https://hw.leftium.com/#/item/35904988" rel="nofollow">https://hw.leftium.com/#/item/35904988</a><p>HN has a minimal tagging system based on the title:<p>- Ask HN: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/ask">https://news.ycombinator.com/ask</a><p>- Show HN: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/show">https://news.ycombinator.com/show</a><p>- etc (some people create their own, like "Tell HN", "Thank HN")
I think things are fine as they are. You can get a gist of the subject from the title (at least after dang gets to it). If I want more, the search has been super helpful.<p>As others have mentioned, there are alternative HN frontends that attempt to do this. I personally would not trust submitter-categorized submissions, especially as more Redditors flee to HN.

Absolutely agree. It would enable users to follow their `special' topics without having to churn through every other topic as well. Hopefully HN and AI will have a love child, soon?
I think they'd rather have one community rather than multiple communities oriented around different subjects. (See Reddit)<p>I have been thinking about making a classification model for "things that might be posted to Hacker News" and was thinking about training it on<p><a href="https://tildes.net/" rel="nofollow">https://tildes.net/</a>
