How are the topics assigned? Two Show HN posts I have posted recently (that are Open-Source and Javascript) don't have the relevant tags attached and I can't see a way of attaching them.

The tags are added fully automatic and there is no option to add tags manually for now. That being said, we really want to make the tagging algorithm better, so hit me at human@finch.io with your case.

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 i…

Sorry but, did you really had to use HH? I'm German and that only rings my right extremists alarm bells, because they use that for "Heil Hitler" (fuck them and him) for generations.

I'm German, too. Lived for 10 years in Hamburg. So my association with HH is manly with the car licence plate. If the site would be called Hackerhunt88, then that would be a different thing ;)

Well, it's not really practical to not ever reuse some initial lest some of the 180+ countries in the world (or worse, some particular sub-group within a country/culture) has some history with it in a totally unrelated context.

I find this kind of post-factum concerns funny as well (same with banning Mein Kampf etc today) -- it was 1933-1945 when the German people should have been really concerned about Hitler, not 2017. The new threats of today don't need Mein Kampf or the freedom to use "HH" initials -- they can make their own stuff even if they care for the Nazis, and usually they have their own, 2017 names and agendas to use anyway. So all it does it reduce some historical guilt.

Nice work! I just noticed a bug though, trying to go to the next page of system software that is sorted by votes doesn't work. Instead of going to the next page, the first page is reloaded with /NaN appended to the URL, as such:
