Show HN: Top Links from Hacker News, Reddit, Techmeme, PH on a Single Page
Hi HN, this is something I created for my personal use and I have been using it daily for a long time now. It’s a page that shows top 25 links from the sources mentioned in the title. Updates every 10 minutes through a cron job and new links are always added to the top.
Some more details: It’s using simple heuristics like minimum upvotes/comments to select the links. For techmeme, only the first headline on techmeme.com is considered a top link. For reddit, currently fetching content from only a select few subreddits.
It’s just a simple page. No ad. No tracking. It’s the first tab I open in the morning. Suggestions and feedback are welcome. :)
- blinding-streak 4y agoI expected something like the now defunct popurls.com, but this is much nicer. Good work.
- mberning 4y agoI like it. I would change the reddit contribution to only look at higher quality subs or just drop it. You have a generally decent mix of content on your page peppered with the worst of the worst from reddit.
- marcusabu 4y agoFirst thing I noticed too. Filtering the sites would also be a nice feature.
- sph 4y agoTook me a while to figure out which PH they refer to... it's Product Hunt.

- 0des 4y agoImagine me wondering what the point of knowing the pH of a remote webserver was.
- dspillett 4y agoPossible warning of signs that an alien has got in and is bleeding over your racks?
- onychomys 4y agoI was thinking that the top links from pornhub didn't really fit with the rest.
- pengstrom 4y agoWow haven't been to reddit in ages, surprised it's so (subjectively) bad. Has it gotten worse or was I a fool before? It's cringeworthy
- xigoi 4y agoYes, Reddit is getting worse ever since it became mainstream popular.
- marginalia_nu 4y agoThey've been pushing hard for growth as well, which I think is probably the single most devastating thing to an online community. There is some amount of growth that can be tolerated while maintaining a sense of community and common culture, but when the new members are pouring in by the thousands every day, that is no longer possible. Most participants will be strangers to each other. What few subreddits have survived this are either incredibly niche, or aggressively working to make new members lurk before they post.
- wmanley 4y agoI think "common culture" is precisely the problem with reddit. Before reddit there were many different separate forums. Each had to be signed up to separately and each had their own culture. With reddit there's little barrier between reddits, which has lead to a shared culture across the whole site. The culture is generally friendly, but is immature and superficial. It's great for small-talk, but useless and frustrating if you actually want to learn something. Maybe I'm bitter, but I used to really enjoy r/rust up until 2 years ago or so. Now it's completely inane and it's no longer worth the time to sort through the noise to find the signal.
- marginalia_nu 4y agoRight, when I say common culture I mean culture common to a specific subreddit. I don't think reddit as a whole has a common culture. It's like a train station and not like a village, everyone is always passing through.

- vesinisa 4y agoI like it. It loads really fast and there's nothing extra - just AllTopLinks.com like it says on the can. BTW Probably a stupid question but what is the site with the logo that looks like a T with a hyphen/horizontal bar on top (T̄ or ₸)?
- pc86 4y agoIt looks like the logo for alltoplinks.com as it seems to be on any site where they haven't created or don't already have a logo matching their theme.
- Zakuzaa 4y agoThat T thing is for techmeme. That's the best icon I could find on fontawesome that resembled techmeme's icon.

- XCSme 4y agoFunny how you can usually know which site a link is from based on how the title is worded. > I disabled WiFi on the new Samsung fridge - HN > What’s a sign of extremely low intelligence? - AskReddit > Chinese government data shows domestic smartphone shipments fell 30% YoY to ~86M units in the first four months of 2022 amid the resurgence of COVID-19 in China - News/WSJ

- firebaze 4y agoNice, will bookmark this. Could you change the reddit-links to point to old.reddit.com instead? Or would this break something else?
- yoz-y 4y agoThere really ought to be a filter there to ignore the most mainstream subreddits. AskReddit's value is below zero. (same questions and answers being posted over and over)
- Night_Thastus 4y agoIf it could integrate a blocklist like what Reddit Enhancement Suite uses, then I'd definitely consider it. I've filtered about 200 subreddits. That sounds like a lot, but there are a ton of duplicate terrible meme/armchair politics/lazy content subreddits worth hiding.
- xeromal 4y agoThere should almost be a blocklist similar to how ublock origin works. A maintained list of subreddits that are too bloated for their own good.
- robswc 4y agoThe funny thing is, there was a time I thought reddit was "much better" than the likes of youtube and twitter for "serious topics" but over the past few years I've realized its the same thing, just being drawn out several paragraphs, lol.
- Fuzzwah 4y agoIs it possible for you to export your list so we can import it?
- sumthinprofound 4y agoI would subscribe via RSS if a feed was available.
- Zakuzaa 4y agoNoted. I'll add that.

- Operyl 4y agoA suggestion: filtering out NSFW posts. There's an AskReddit NSFW post at the bottom right now, haha. Or having a page where it's filtered out, I think.
- freediver 4y agoThis has been around for a while and does the same thing (perhaps even better) https://news.t0.vc https://news.t0.vc
- systemvoltage 4y agoThe best there is IMO: https://skimfeed.com/ https://skimfeed.com/ High density, compact and loads fast.
- tsuujin 4y agoSeems like it’s a good desktop option, but the mobile UX isn’t there. A single column responsive layout would make a big difference.
- 2b3a51 4y agoThank you for sharing this work. I've now bookmarked your page. A few suggestions... Date and time displayed on each link Consider adding an RSS feed Consider (real edge case here) adding a plain text alternative with the origin Web site stated after each link (e.g. test using links or w3m in a terminal)

- JetSpiegel 4y ago> No Tracking And yet, loads 5 domains straight up: cloudflare, fotawesome, hwcdn, jquery
- Zakuzaa 4y agoGood catch. I have removed jquery. Now fontawesome is the only outside file that's being called.
- t_mann 4y agoFyi, you can achieve something similar tailored to your own preferences by using a tool like rssmix.com plus the RSS reader of your choice.
