HN Showcase
- ges 14y agoCool. Did you use HTML5 canvas for the snapshots?
- ssong 14y agoNope. It's using PhantomJS (http://phantomjs.org/ http://phantomjs.org/).
- zacharydanger 14y agoPretty cool. Is there an RSS/Atom feed I could subscribe to?
- ssong 14y agoNot yet. I'll try to include that in the next update.
- felipellrocha 14y agoWouldn't it be great is pg would link this page from HN itself?
- duck 14y agoGreat idea... bookmarked! Great how you include the # votes and comments on each one.
- Kilimanjaro 14y agoThis should be part of the front page or I'll soon forget about it.
- pcopley 14y agoThis looks like absolute trash in IE9.
- pcopley 14y agoDownvoted for telling the truth? Come on. http://i.imgur.com/P11Ai.png http://i.imgur.com/P11Ai.png
- corin_ 14y agoI'd suggest probably downvoted for telling the truth rudely is a more accurate explanation.
- rokhayakebe 14y agoI did not downvote you, and I almost upvoted you again, but you could have said it better. Be nice.
- gana 14y agoI think the downvote was for using IE!
- ssong 14y agoThanks for the feedback! When I wrote this, I only tested it on Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. For the next version, I'm planning to use twitter bootstrap, so hopefully the compatibility will be better.
- ssong 14y agoThanks for posting this :) I wrote HN Showcase as a weekend project last summer. Glad to see this being used. I'm going to try to push an update in the near future.
- siculars 14y agoThis looks awesome. Great visualization and use of phantomjs. It seems like everyone loves to re-interpret HN. I'm no different, http://hnfluence.com http://hnfluence.com.
- collisioncode 14y agoI think the scrolling page numbers isn't the best. I would go stick to the traditional 1|2|3|4|5|...|29|30
- ajasmin 14y agoI would prefer infinite scrolling as on e.g. http://lookbook.nu http://lookbook.nu and http://images.bing.com/search?q=cat http://images.bing.com/search?q=cat
- felipellrocha 14y agoLove the concept! Great work! :)
- joesunga 14y agoGreat concept -- and I'm all about increasing the exposure of startups. :)
- tejaswiy 14y agoJust last week, I was in a slump and thought of looking for side-project inspiration by searching for all the ShowHN posts. This just works great because when you start bombarding your brain with lots of new ideas, you'd be surprised what you come up with :) I understand it'd be a little more work, but how about manually curating and featuring projects ?
- ssong 14y agoI don't have the bandwidth right now to manually curate. However, this sounds like a good idea for someone to do as a dedicated tumblr/posterous blog.
- alister 14y agoIs there a way to search for a particular showcased site? (In case you're wondering why: I would like to find my own site on the showcase site without browsing through all the pages.)
- ssong 14y agoThere isn't a way right now, but I may add it in the next update. Having a perma link to a project is tricky as the projects shift back when new projects get posted.
- mixmastamyk 14y agoHow does a site get on this showcase? Scraping HN or manual intervention?
- ssong 14y agoIt uses the search API (http://www.hnsearch.com/api http://www.hnsearch.com/api) and does a little bit of sanitizing to remove "Show HN" from the title and find the URL in the post. It seems like the site isn't returning any new results right now, and I'll investigate when I get a chance. Usually things are up there realtime.
- hybridknight 14y agogreat!
- laundrysheet1 14y agoThis is great for most of the Show HN stuff that never makes the front page!
