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: a post with 1 point can rank above one with 1,000 if it's more relevant to you.

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

Discussion links

Every post links to its comments on HN, Lobsters, Reddit, or Bluesky.
