A HN submission of cached contents of an article, that was cached by a HN indexing system because it was previously posted in the past. This shows that HNdex is doing its job in helping people discover posts that they hadn’t seen. It must also be some sort of milestone in the history of HN perhaps, as https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=hndex.org https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=hndex.org currently shows that this is the first post to HN from HNdex aside from the Show HN about HNdex itself. A couple of things that this makes me wonder is: - Will the cached article itself eventually also be cached and show up when you make the following search on HNdex for example? https://hndex.org/?q=alcohol+social+trustworthiness https://hndex.org/?q=alcohol+social+trustworthiness I’m thinking that the author of HNdex probably already thought of excluding HNdex pages from HNdex itself. - Is this a new era of HN, where more third-party sites pop up in order to explore and interact with HN in novel ways? I am aware of a few other third-party sites that offer some sort of interaction with HN. But the others that I can think of immediately have been alternate front ends that mostly didn’t do anything radically different. HNdex on the other hand is really something different. - Since the caches work with things like Google+, and since it has cached articles that have since gone 404’d, it must mean that HNdex is the result of a personal project that has been ongoing for quite a while. Or they extracted the data from other archive sources. Either way, I wonder if any of the other people on HN also have HN-related projects that they either made for their own use and didn’t (yet) set up a public version of, or are working on currently.
