How hard is it to export all of the comments someone has written on HN? I have been thinking about converting my HN comment history into something like a blog. Each entry would show the title of the submission, link if applicable, and the comment and link to comment thread. Maybe you could provide that service for a small fee. https://github.com/runvnc/hncomments
The Hacker News BigQuery data makes this quite easy: select * from `bigquery-public-data.hacker_news.full` where `by` = 'ilaksh' and type = 'comment' order by timestamp desc EDIT: seems this is out of date

#103Just be a little careful, or the OnlyFans people might hear there's a new "social" where they can promote. (For example: LLM-assisted forum presence, combined with profiles with oh, hey there, I have an OF, lol, combined with tech industry disposable incomes... I'd guess would pick up a couple new whales worth the effort. Now that Reddit presumably has been picked clean.)
HN has better moderation than any other site I'm aware of, I trust it to be robust against that kind of spam.

You'll need to paginate it, as it's limited to 50 results per page, like so:

#107Really nice! For a moment I thought it was official. Anyway I've edited my bio and have been waiting like 20 minutes for it to be updated in the site.

$100 but worth it for the fun!
that's a steal. I can spend that in a single night at the pub, so yeah, for what it is it is a no-brainer. the only hesitation is how stable is the 'hn' TLD? Edited for ID10T too early in the morning issue
