Whoops, my apologies, didn't knew they were so many.

For me the most interesting thing is to read the comments from different previous submissions to see if, or how, the responses of the HN community have changed.

Do you have a script for this?

I have a hotch-potch of tools and then glue the results together by hand. It doesn't take me long, but I vet all the results to make sure it's all valid.

It's pretty trivial stuff - a GET on hn.algolia.com and a simply python script to pull just the bits that matter.

Hah - like CarolineW I have a random collection of scripts that I use in an ad hoc manner. Some time ago I automated the entire process and people got very unhappy, so now when I do it, I do it "by hand" (to steal the phrase).

I suspect a lot of people have similar scripts, none polished, all just held together with spit and baling wire.
