Show HN: Hacker News as a feed of videos

Creator here. Hacker Pixels discovers videos in stories and comments on Hacker News and creates a feed of videos from the extracted links. At that point Youtube and Vimeo links are supported, let me know if you know of any other good video sources.

I am planning to send weekly top videos newsletter, hence the newsletter popup that will show once if you scroll to the end of the list. The service is built with data from Youtube and Vimeo APIs.

Happy to hear your comments!

A brief peek gave me the impression that some of the videos are the sort of thing I come to HN for and some, like a rant on the Yugo aren't (never mind that the Yugo was better than a lot of cars produced behind the iron curtain).

The problem with video is that the time commitment is substantial compared to text and I have come to believe that is one of the reasons video is relatively infrequent on HN's front page. The in terms of curation, it's a lot harder to meet the 'not mostly a waste of time' bar.

Good luck.

Congrats, OP! Thank you for making this.

I think the creator who created this is also the creator of http://hackernewsbooks.com/, by seeing the same design of site.

Thanks for creating this service! Do you also get videos embedded in submitted page? E.g. like this one - http://darkpatterns.org

Could you also show the vote count near each video? Could you maybe allow sorting the videos of each day by vote count? This is so close to being perfect...

Really good, thank you! Maybe you could add a top tab, for see videos with the most upvotes (by week, by month, etc) Very good job!

Good list, how do you process the links?
