Hey HN! I'm one of the two developers behind Hackerhunt. As much as I love Hacker News and it's ranking algorithm for the front page news, it has a downside for the Show HN submissions. A lot of cool and useful stuff people have actually made themselves gets lost in /shownew without a real chance to get to the right audience. That's where the idea of a curated and categorised, à-la-Product-hunt, list was born.

This is a very early proof of concept and any suggestions on how to make it better are welcome!

This is very useful, as a frequent HN user, I find myself strolling down the showHN tab quite often, and the current UI doesn't let you go more than 3 pages deep (~5-6 days old posts).

Yep, it was a bit buggy. Fixed. Thanks!

I like how Hackerhunt is the most popular item on Hackerhunt:

Hi! Just thought I'd report a bug - when you search, and try to click the comments icon to go to the HN post, it goes to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=undefined

This is great. You have a small (albeit fun) bug when hitting next page though: http://i.imgur.com/eqTVBPy.png :)

Looks great. Can you tell us how you built it? I'm most interested in automatic categorization of submitted articles.
