Show HN: Wikihack – HackerTube, but for Wikipedia articles mentioned on HN

aizk — Mon, 02 Nov 2026 05:06:30 +0000

After seeing Karpathy's Hackertube and Hackerbooks, I just had to make Wikihack.

I scraped all mentions of wikipedia on hackernews and ranked them, and turn them into a scrollable feed to make it a bit more easy to digest / interact with. You can see where people submitted the articles and where people mentioned it in comments.

The top shows the most frequently linked articles.

Random is random but slightly weighted towards the more frequently linked articles (a little bit like Wikipedia actually).

Rising is ranked towards the past 12 months.

The entire site is served only through the frontend -- I'll add more features if people enjoy this!

Ask HN: Which TV do you recommend for privacy?

LecroJS — Sun, 01 Nov 2026 19:35:27 +0000

I haven’t owned a TV in years and would like one that respects my privacy. Are there any TV’s which do this well? I am looking for something in the 60”to 80”range and would like a 4k display with at least 60hz display. I don’t mind paying a premium.

I have heard good things about Apple TV as a better alternative to most smart TV native apps. Would some TV’s pair better with this than others for privacy? I don’t want the TV doing anything other than being the display for Apple TV.

I am curious what success others have had.

Show HN: HackerBooks – HackerTube, but for books mentioned on HN

roansh — Sun, 01 Nov 2026 15:58:28 +0000

Saw Karpathy's HackerTube and wanted the same thing for books. So I had Claude build one (Opus 5.5).

It's ~16.5k books that at least two different HN commenters brought up, from 2007 till now. Each book links back to the comments that mentioned it. Data is downloadable from the about page.

To be clear: Claude wrote almost all of it, including the data pipeline and the site. I mostly steered and made calls, bought the domain name, etc.

It counts mentions, so it's not perfect (praising a book and trashing it both count). If your favourite book is missing or matched to the wrong thing, tell me.
