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

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.)

Any OF models would be met with HN users over-explaining their own economics to them and how it's a terrible business that'll never work. These models will also learn they don't even have a moat to differentiate themselves from other offerings and should keep their development jobs. :)

I can see both groups working with models and curves

Just different types

Aella already has a stranglehold on the HN demographic.

Does this not work with upper case letters? I only get "Internal Server Error 34".

Yikes you're right. I need to come up with a way to solve that. Maybe a param or path to lock in the username like abc.at.hn/Abc ... I'll have a go. EDIT: for now I'm tired and off to bed but if someone has a graceful/simple way to handle the non-lowercase usernames, please come forward.

HN seems to support using lowercased names for the /user?id=(lowercased-name) ... if you just need to translate for lookup. Not sure about things like underscores or other characters.

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.

Same for me, also using capital letters ...

There seems to be some weird encoding issues and failure to convert URLs to links properly, for my profile - https://mike-cardwell.at.hn/ - Also, some of the indenting and white space is broken making the PGP signature invalid

Whoops. Yeh I'm working on the encoding thing atm. Thank you for flagging! EDIT: I'm relying on the 'marked' npm package for markdown and it is handling the linkification of URLs, sometimes badly. Shall work on it.

maybe wrap it in three backticks on a line before and after?

I think the median HN user is a lot healthier than you suggest.

For example...

    Markdown Content
    ...
    ```
    -- BEGIN PGP...
    https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=yourname
    yourname.at.hn
    --- signature
