Hey thanks for adding customizable rss feeds! Super handy feature
Is there any chance the feed items could also have a direct link to the hn post? Right now I'm trying them, clicking through to your site then clicking to go to hn when I mostly just want the direct link to the hn discussion page so it's a bit clunky. I can solve this on my end easily with a redirect but I figured I'd mention it in case it's useful feedback.
I also built a browser extension to do this client-side. It just auto-clicks the Hide links for any story with an AI-related term. Source & Firefox add-on link here: https://github.com/ColdPie1/enough-ai-on-hn
There are a lot of ways of tackling this, but the only way to truly filter everything out is to update the list constantly.
My filter currently has 146 keyword filters and 101 domain filters. Even with those, I've had to filter almost 400 exact urls on top of that in the past two weeks!
Definitely a lot of approaches. I like that mine is dead simple & runs in the browser; but an advantage to a deeper inspection like yours is it will catch those endless AI thinkpieces that don't obviously stick an AI term in the title. Pros & cons!
Hmm, right now I only process a subset of all submissions to keep things lean, so this is the closest that the site can do to /newest right now: https://hcker.news/?filter=top200&ai=exclude

I don't normally read the front page, more /newest
Any chance of implementing that?
Your site works with my Firefox auto-pager, which is really nice for archiving posts for later search.

No problem, and thanks. I understand the size of the problem, and why the above link is "most upvoted"
By archiving all, I can easily filter titles as text, if I really wanted to do so, but it's not all that important for me. grep -v works!
Again, thanks for the effort.
Awesome! Finally the hacker news I originally came for
Thank you!
Same to you – glad you like it!
