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where `by` = 'ilaksh' and type = 'comment' order by timestamp desc EDIT: seems this is out of date

Clickhouse has an updated dataset: https://play.clickhouse.com/play?user=play#U0VMRUNUICogRlJPT...

Around here I think you’d have better luck selling tiny cute looking computers with tiny screens and open source hardware.

Tastes around here definitely vary. I prefer curvy monitors with big CPUs.

Man oh man, do I have the CRT for you!

Just 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.)

Nothing stops people from doing that in their profiles now... and it's not like this is even an official hn feature, so either way they're linking to an external site.

HN has better moderation than any other site I'm aware of, I trust it to be robust against that kind of spam.

Using the algolia api

https://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search?tags=author_ilaksh,comm...

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

  https://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search?tags=author_ilaksh,comment&hitsPerPage=50&page=1

Really 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.

You need to go to

  https://nanochess.at.hn?refresh
I did so, and it updated your bio :)

I'm getting Internal server error 34. Which is one I'd never seen before. ;)

Same here... HN kiss of death maybe? Too bad. Looks fun.

All three of us have capital letters in our usernames and empty profiles, and an internal server error.

$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

Looks like it's $64 on Regery.
