I know I have several more, but there doesn't seem to be a good way to search one's own post history on HN. (This statement has since been made obsolete by CRConrad)
- CRConrad 5y ago> there doesn't seem to be a good way to search one's own post history on HN. Depends on how you define a "good" way, but surely https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=AnIdiotOnTheNet%20package%20manager&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... -- and the possible permutations of search terms and filtering and ordering -- isn't all that bad?
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 5y agoYou must admit that having it hosted on a different domain and apparently not linked to from anywhere (at least as far as I can see) makes it pretty undiscoverable. That said, I had a hunch complaining about it would bring someone out who had a better solution than I did, and it worked, so thanks.
- Jtsummers 5y agoIt's not directly linked, but it is where the search box at the bottom of every page will take you. Algolia was a YCombinator company and since, at the time, HN had no built-in search they piggybacked on them to add the capability.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 5y agoHoly crap, I have never in my life noticed that search box.
- junon 5y agoTIL there's a search box on HN.
- jeddy3 5y agoWow. There IS a search box, how have I missed that?
- CRConrad 5y agoHeheheheh... Not one, but three people. But yeah, it is funny how it's kind invisible down there.
- ghoward 5y agoThank you for the links! I've been trying to figure out what is wrong with package management and how to do things better. I'm reading your links now. Also, thank you for labeling them.
- giardini 5y agoThere are many ways to search one's history on ycombinator - here's one: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=AnIdiotOnTheNet+site%3Anews.ycombinator.com&t=operav&ia=web https://duckduckgo.com/?q=AnIdiotOnTheNet+site%3Anews.ycombi...
