Scour for Hacker News Readers

Tons of great content gets submitted to Hacker News, but the front page only shows what's popular. Good posts scroll off the Newest page before anyone notices. Scour finds the hidden gems that match your interests.

Personal Relevance Over Popularity

Scour finds content that matches your interests, regardless of popularity. A post with 1 point can rank above one with 1,000 if it's more relevant to you.

See for Yourself

Try a topic you care about. Scour surfaces HN posts that never hit the front page:

Try it: Search HN's hidden gems

Find submissions that never made the front page but match your interests:

This searches the last month of submissions.

Any Topic You Want

Interests are free-form text: add anything professional, niche, or personal, and Scour surfaces matching posts that never reached the front page.

Here are some examples of what other users are interested in:

💰Personal Finance 💾Data Preservation 🏮Chinese Tech 📡Low-Level Networking 🎩Georgian London 📝Denote 👂Psychoacoustics 🤖ROBOT

Feeds Beyond HN

This same approach works for any high-volume feed. HN is one of 27,656 community-contributed sources (blogs, papers, newsletters) that Scour watches: search all of them, or curate your own.

Discussion Links

Scour includes discussion links for every post so you can quickly jump to the comments on HN, Lobsters, Reddit, or Bluesky.
