Show HN: Hnpdf.com – Quick access to pdfs shared on Hacker News
- tr3ntg 4y agoThis is nice. I often find myself trying to recall specific HN links for a variety of discussions. Just recently, a PDF link was one of those. This site made it very easy to find again. Plus, many comments had been added since I first saw it on the front page. Nice work!
- Gigacore 4y agoThank you. I am glad you liked it.
- ok_dad 4y agoI love 1-purpose web sites, like 1-purpose CLI utilities like `ls`. It's really fast and looks nice, IMO. I think it's also a good idea: the PDFs on HN are usually a bit more oriented towards tech and interesting computer science than the articles, which can be peppered with political posts and such. Filtering by PDF link will likely result in a more educational feed :)

- Encrust6221 4y agoNot that it's a real issue, but the 2nd page on the popular tab is actually not a pdf at all. I assume it appears because the url (https://mango.pdf.zone https://mango.pdf.zone) contains ".pdf" within it?
- s3000 4y agoThat's a nice tool. Do you see a way to add tags to make it more easy to browse the best pdfs for a specific topic?
- Gigacore 4y agoGood idea. I will give it a try.
- graymatters 4y agoThis is useful! I like it. Thank you for the effort!
- Gigacore 4y agoGlad you liked it. Thank you!
- totetsu 4y agoWas there a site like this for book titles too?

- majkinetor 4y agoI like it. It would IMO be much better if you also add PDFs from comments, not only submissions.
- Gigacore 4y agoThe only challenge is a proper description. Some comments go by "Here you go: <link to pdf>" without much description of its content. But it is a good idea. I will try to figure out something.
