I quite like this, particularly that the filter is just a preset! Will be back.

Minor UI feedback - when navigating comments (and maybe other stuff) with the keyboard, the actual focus change is blocked behind some automated scroll behavior, and the effect is that someone quickly hitting keybinds will collapse the wrong thread. Would suggest making the focus change happen concurrently.

Here is an approach to filtering LLM written content: https://hnslop.nilsherzig.com/ Instead of filtering keywords this ranks the content using Pangram. But it's also pretty effective at filtering content about AI. Turns out that a lot of LLM tooling projects have LLM written project descriptions/blog posts. It's amazing to see how many of the "AI hurts my brain" posts are apparently written by an LLM.

Nice! I was considering doing this but the Pangram API is very expensive. Then I considered training my own model and I fortunately stopped at the edge of that rabbit hole.

Thanks for the feedback. Comment drawer nav could be a lot better. I started working on the keyboard nav but got distracted with other things. I'll fix it.

Yea very expensive (hence me siphoning another page haha).

Im trying to get something cheaper to work, Pangram has some nice docs on how to build something like their service https://github.com/pangramlabs/EditLens, they even have training data online.

The harm a missclassification carries is much lower for a hn post than a masters thesis, so we might be fine with a worse model.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Do you know if there is a way of pointing any of the hackernews phone apps to your site instead of the official one?

I don't personally use those apps so I'm not sure, but if they're open source I'm confident you could easily update them to work with my site. In case it's useful, here's the source code https://github.com/leiDnedyA/hn-without-ai

It does not have a license so it cannot be used though.
