    Is this a whitelist or blacklist?

      Blacklist
- Fnoord 9y ago
  The only universal HN blacklist is the one where dead and flagged items aren't shown which is the default (you can still show the flagged items if you're logged in and set it in your preferences). Everything else is entirely personal preference. So there is no such thing as a "good filter list" in this context; it depends on your preferences. Example: One person is not interested in anything about Bitcoin, another person is not interested in anything about North Korea, and yet another person is not interested in Facebook. They wouldn't end up with the same blacklist. It seems to support normal regexp, so you gotta learn that if you don't know it. Other than that, I'd argue that whitelisting is going to take a lot more initial time and effort. Go with blacklisting instead, and compare with the real thing to see if you're missing out. Then reiterate ad nauseam...

Just the other day I was looking for a service like this, or a Firefox Add-on to filter the stories. Kudos!

Can’t seem to get to page 2 on mobile safari. Requested desktop version but no joy.

  It only loads top 30. There is no support for additional stories or pages. If you're interested in this, you can create an issue on the github repo for this feature. http://github.com/francium/hn-diet http://github.com/francium/hn-diet

FYI the "Hacker News for Hackers article" link on the github readme is broken, because it's being interpreted as a relative url.
