Show HN: A Hacker News client that only shows YouTube videos

12 points by notsahil 1y ago

Hey HN, I wanted a way to quickly see only the YouTube videos being shared on Hacker News without wading through other links. So, I built this little tool. I used to use https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=youtube.com https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=youtube.com to check YouTube links, but it lacked thumbnails, so I built one just to do it. It uses the hn.algolia.com API and is built with Nuxt3. I originally made this for myself but thought others might find it useful too. You can try it here: https://hn-yt.netlify.app/ https://hn-yt.netlify.app/ Happy to hear any feedback or suggestions!

Sometimes I do use the search functionality to find something to watch. But this looks neat.

Cool. Was hacker-tube not available? I prefer a denser layout like 3 or 4 across. You could just have it auto-flow without side margins, then zooming smaller would naturally just do that.

I see a set of large images where the mouse cursor indicates they are clickable, but clicking in Firefox with AdBlock enabled doesn't work. I clicked for a long time and realized you're making fun of me? PS: just use https://github.com/justinribeiro/lite-youtube https://github.com/justinribeiro/lite-youtube

  Sorry for that, it used to play videos before but was causing lag when loaded, so I had to disable it. Though there is a link to open in a new tab. Yeah, using Nuxt Script which is similar to lite-youtube: https://scripts.nuxt.com/scripts/content/youtube-player https://scripts.nuxt.com/scripts/content/youtube-player

Does it include those from comments? Great videos to be found there, too.

Great! I'm missing 'Most points Last Week', 'Most points Last Month' etc. That would be nice!
