Ask YC/HN Archive
- mrduncan 17y agoOn a related note, http://searchyc.com/ http://searchyc.com/ also has a lot of good info.
- icey 17y agoThey have a really nice subdomain just for Ask HN posts (although theirs is chronologically sorted, not organized like the OPs): http://ask.searchyc.com/ http://ask.searchyc.com/
- bigsassy 17y agoThank you very much for compiling this list. Will you continue adding Ask YC/HN posts to this wiki?
- epi0Bauqu 17y agoYeah, I do plan on doing a massive update/overhaul. It's pretty out of date at the moment, though still useful.
- yurisagalov 17y agoThis is fantastic! Thank you very much for compiling this and breaking it up into manageable sections
- riffer 17y agoAll posts on this page have been looked at manually Was all of the categorization done manually? I ask because it looks stellar, and I'm just curious if you had/built a tool to help you make it a bit less tedious
- epi0Bauqu 17y agoYup. Edit: thx. No tools, just a lot of re-org over time after repeated use.
- jmonegro 17y agoI did not author the archive, by the way. It seems epi0Bauqu is the one responsible. Edit: epi0Bauqu is the one responsible.
- epi0Bauqu 17y agoHere was the link to the initial posting: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=184766 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=184766 I updated it weekly thereafter for a long time, but eventually stopped when people stopped coming to it regularly. I was originally hoping pg would add a link to it somewhere. Thankfully, searchyc.com did add a link from their ask yc archive page: http://ask.searchyc.com/ http://ask.searchyc.com/
- jmonegro 17y agoDamn, that was a looong time ago ;) about twice as much as I've been on HN.
- yannis 17y agoExcellent is an understatement! thanks for the link.
- phreanix 17y agoThis is excellent! I wish there was a semi automated way of voting a post in or suggesting one. Either way, this is an awesome resource!
- epi0Bauqu 17y agoEmail me your best submissions and I'll add them in the next update.
- ryanhuff 17y agoGenius! This solves a huge need among the more recent HN readers.
- ww520 17y agoIs there a way to make this a sticky post? Like the forum posts.
- qeorge 17y agoThat's a good idea. Perhaps a link on the guidelines page would be easier & less abrupt.
- pasbesoin 17y agoThank you! Just the other week, I lost a personal archive that included interesting HN posts, particularly many from the early HN days having, in my perspective, a particularly high signal to noise ratio. I've been debating whether to post/ask whether anyone has a means of re-finding / replacing some of these. It looks like your site may provide a start.
- fhirzall 17y agoBookmarked! My usual approach of finding these was to google for topic + Hacker News + Ask.
- eneveu 17y agoIf you want even more power / better search results, you can use this query: site:news.ycombinator.com intitle:"ask hn" topic While I do not use "intitle" very often, I use the "site" operator all the time. It's often even better than using the search boxes provided by some web pages. More examples here: http://www.google.com/intl/en/help/operators.html http://www.google.com/intl/en/help/operators.html
- fhirzall 17y agoSweet, I use the "site" operator a lot but I've never actually used the intitle one.
- pg 17y agoWow; many thanks to Gabriel Weinberg for making this.
- blasdel 17y agoYou could thank him more effectively by linking to it somewhere in the margins of HN (and http://searchyc.com http://searchyc.com too).
- deleted 17y ago[deleted]
- buckler 17y agoJust had to post a comment to say thanks. Even the archives on searchyc is good enough, but this will surely save me a lot of clicks. Cheers.
- robryan 17y agoI could imagine you could create a book focused around start ups just by extracting the wisdom of the best responses on HN. So much collective knowledge here from smart and accomplished people.
- coryl 17y agoFreakin AWESOME! Thanks
- elblanco 17y agoWow, so much great startup and business knowledge in one place.
- sam191 17y agoI really enjoyed this excellent resource. However, I've noticed that some of the posts are over 900 days old. I know many things still hold true, but would that make a difference in the quality of information? For example, some of the posts about technology might be a bit outdated because things change so quickly. Nevertheless, this is something that really helped me out.
- pasbesoin 17y agoThe early days here produced some of the most interesting and informative conversations I've run across online. Signal to noise ratio was particularly high, as were mutual respect and consideration.
- olliesaunders 17y agoI couldn't find my Ask HN on what game developers should use instead of C++. Was it that bad? Anyway here it is in case you want to add it later: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=888643 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=888643
