说明与用途

HackerTools 通过使用上下文短语和唯一用户聚合 Hacker News 评论中的工具推荐，以提高有用工具的可发现性。

问题

Developers on Hacker News need a way to surface tool recommendations from comments without noisy mentions.

结果

HackerTools surfaces ~116 developer tools ranked by unique commenter recommendations, providing curated quotes and links to original HN comments, improving discoverability of tool recommendations.

工作流

• Collect all HN comments
• Filter out job‑post threads
• For each comment, search for recommendation phrases within 120 characters of a tool name
• If match found, record commenter ID and tool name
• Deduplicate by commenter to count unique votes per tool
• Select best quote per tool based on proximity and first‑person usage
• Rank tools by vote count
• Publish results on DEV·TV with links to original comments

证据

The obvious approach is to count how often a tool's name appears. But mentions are noisy:

So HackerTools only counts a comment when a recommendation phrase sits close to the tool name

It also: counts people, not comments, so one person praising tmux 20 times is one vote
