I think that Hackernews is a consistent source of interesting articles to read, but I like to avoid the comment section for my own piece-of-mind. I also like to get the content that I care about delivered via RSS, so that I’m not consistently re-visiting HN (or other sites) for more content. For a while, I’ve been relying on this github project, which creates a new issue every day containing the top 30 links posted on Hackernews. You can subscribe to an RSS feed of github issues (apparently) to get the content delivered directly to your favorite newsreader. My reader of choice however, Omnivore didn’t really seem to like rendering github issues, so I was always having to fall back to the browser to view them.

So I decided to fork the aforementioned github project, take the “get the top 30 links” script, and use that to power a new hugo site. Since it’s my site and not Github, I can control the rendering and make it as minimal as I want.

The homepage shows the most recent (updated every 24h) top 30 links on HN, and there’s also an archive of all past entries.
