This project lets you view Hacker News in a more personalized way. Instead of seeing the same default feed everyone else sees, you can customize which stories matter to you, filtering by topic, keywords, or other preferences so you only see what's relevant to your interests. The tool works by pulling stories from Hacker News and letting you set up filters and preferences through a web interface. Once configured, you see a tailored feed instead of the standard chronological list. It's built in JavaScript, which means it runs directly in your browser, so there's no server setup or account creation required, you just visit the site and start customizing. This would be useful for anyone who reads Hacker News regularly but finds the main feed too noisy. If you're only interested in startups, you can filter out everything else. If you want to track specific keywords or topics, you can do that without missing important posts. Developers, founders, and tech enthusiasts who want to stay informed without drowning in irrelevant stories would find this handy. The README is minimal and doesn't provide extensive details about the exact features or how to set it up, but the live version is available as a GitHub Pages site, so you can try it directly.
