Had me scared for a moment that it was running Ruby 2.6 and Rails 5.1.7 in prod. :'D FYI: The hn search index I'm seeing is about 9 hours old as of 2026-02-23T00:53:00Z. Is that right?

Hmmm. Should update more often than that. Let me check!

Both HN clients that I use are failing to load/update. I think they both pull data from the Algolia search endpoints.

Algolia DevRel here. An amazing dev named Jeff Slentz did a full rewrite about a year ago, which is what the current search runs on. The new search is currently in a private repo, but I can see about getting it turned public if people would like to peruse the code.

OMG, I'd love to fix that date picker. It is just so horribly broken, it causes me PTSD.

Is there a place to get an archive of all HN posts and historical comments?

I would appreciate it. It’s such a joy to use, to share, and (admitting I haven’t) nice to see & share the code & configuration to feed algolia, on a more serious scale of us than I’m likely to use in a hobby project or find/grok/share another public example with code + data.
