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…

If there is no content is available in a paginated page then it outputs some of your code. CHeck this link - https://hackerhunt.co/topic/blockchain/trending/200000

I think that's a joke. Actual code output probably wouldn't feature syntax highlighting

It's not a bug, it's a feature!

It's a pretty neat way to handle empty conversions IMO.

Just remove the unnecessary semi-colon at the end of the code ;-)

That had to be done asap! Semicolon removed!

Really cool site. I recently asked HN[1] why did the free alternative to PH die and found this postmortem thread[2].

I think it really boils down to making sure that people coming to your site find something new and creative all the time - to help turn lurkers or one-time visitors into repeat visitors. I think PH does that quite well with their podcasts, daily digests, twitter updates (though they are forced but they do work), etc. Also you're building a community site so if the traffic dies in a month keep at it, it looks sites like these take many years to gain that traction. Basically I think you have something really great going here, just make sure to focus on bringing the visitors back and you will definitely have a winner!

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.

I created a small program to categorize titles by sub-reddit[1] to learn sci-kit, tensorflow, etc.

I basically used reddit's Bigquery data for the dataset (it's huge!). My algorithm and code is here[2].

The UI on mobile looks great, really clean job! I have a question, does it also index submissions which never make it to the main show page? Also, shameless plug : I am hosting an event inspired by ShowHn in Hyderabad, India ( showhyd.com )

Yes, Hacker Hunt indexes all Show HN submissions, including those who never make to the main page. Actually - that was the whole reason to make Hacker Hunt happen.
