hackernews is such a rich source of "non trivial" content, and we are really seeing this when using it for a project compared with just consuming it as an individual.
We are focusing right now on how comments could be used to build up a better user context, and your comment has made me think about how we can feed comments in (instead of just titles and urls) for your selected preferences to make a better profile, without needing to scrape anything (expensive and slow).
But i think that would only work because of their quality and relevance generally, which would for sure make it an interesting knowledge source for pure LLM search. Feels like something someone should build or maybe already has! keen to see if anyone knows of projects like that.

Yep, it very much feels like that but it doesn't seems to have happened yet. Even a not-entirely-quite-working yet attempt there could be an interesting thing/discussion.
I was able to find this post, which is a little old in LLM land, but appears to be pretty functional! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40238509
The post and comments include a bunch of other tools that feel similar, and the tool itself works.
Ill have to take some time to use it, but also see what i can learn about how they've consumed and used HN comments more generally.
If only there was some way to find all the similar related previous submissions (there have been a few :)
