Can't edit my post now…but I'm _pretty_ sure it was just HTML/CSS/JS, no running code anywhere. Could be wrong.
Are you thinking of stagit maybe? Which (as the name suggests) is a static git frontend: https://github.com/oxalorg/stagit

#12Hey, I know the feeling! It can be frustrating when we can't find something we're sure we saw on HN. When default search failed me in the past, I've had some luck with experimental search projects that people have created. I'm sharing them hoping one might help you find what you're looking for: * [Vectara]( https://search-hackernews.vercel.app/ ) * [Hacker Search]( https://hackersearch.net/ ) * [HN Discussion Search]…
Thanks for these! I tried a few of these and https://hn.lixiasearch.com/ turned up exactly what I was looking for as the first result. Gonna have to bookmark that one. I also had a HN story I've been looking for that I couldn't find via HN's algolia search, nor any major search engine.

#17I think algolia - limited search functions. even the filter facets have changed compared to years ago.
maybe as a defensive mechanism against ai and other scrappers.

Is this an AI generated comment?

#19Sometimes, you have to use Google functions as its better for searching things, though not always. Do you remember any keywords? Names? Use site:ycombinator.com "keyword" on Google search, and adjust the timeline to narrow the results.
