Filter Hacker News by tags (70K past URLs and hourly sync)
Filter old and new Hacker News link by tags.
I've gone through old Hacker News links and tagged them. Also, every hour, new HN posts are synced to Archfinch.
Only posts with at least 10 points are shown, and automatic tagging uses the Delicious API (no autotagging involved). Users can also tag things manually (and they do).
You can follow and block specific tags, e.g. you can follow linux, python and math and block techcrunch, facebook and iphone.
Some highlights:
http://archfinch.com/tags/ycstartup - all YC company news
http://archfinch.com/tags/hn/videos - videos that appear on HN (automatically embedded)
http://archfinch.com/tags/hn/pics - same as above, except pics
http://archfinch.com/tags/programming/history/lisp - an example of how deep the tags go
Bonus: some stories have wiki-style summaries
For reference, here's the initial submission to HN with the discussion:
http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1601930
Much good feedback there, it would be interesting to see a report of how much of that was taken up and integrated, how much was tested, and how much was ignored.
Instead, this submission is a repeat of this one from 4 days ago:
Neat! This just helped me find out the name of the weather site I was trying to remember on Saturday (http://weatherspark.com). I knew it'd been on HN but searchyc.com returned too many results in this case:
http://archfinch.com/tag/hn/weather (result #3, "Incredible weather information UI")
Thanks!

Great project though.
hey any way to get an RSS feed from this?
Does it just pull from HN or are there other sources - if the latter, what are they?
Love the site, I think it has a lot of potential. I'll be in touch through email.
Where do I click to go to the HN thread?
