Export Hacker News Thread to an Excel
- abhishekdesai 17y agoWe created this utility because many startups ask HN community to review their startups and they get lot of excellent responses. I also did the same but after that managing the replied were little pain as I had to manually create an excel sheet for that. Now this will help people like me to get all the replies properly in an excel file which can be manipulated as and when needed. Let me know what HN thinks of this.
