Hacker News Reader

I built https://search.marginalia.nu/explore/random and https://explore.marginalia.nu to try to capture the old stumbleupon vibe.

It's manually curated though so not the most scalable thing I've put together. Wish I had more time to expand on this, seems on the cusp of being pretty cool.

How do I submit a link for this?

I haven't built a clean workflow for that yet, but in the interim, make a pull request here:

https://github.com/MarginaliaSearch/PublicData/blob/master/s...

and I'll poke it into the DB.

If you don't want to dirty your hands with github, you can send me an email at kontakt@marginalia.nu :-)

I miss stumbleupon.

It was a tool for an exciting experimental internet.

Nowadays I can only imagine it’d be flooded with odd numbered list articles.

stumbleupon was reliant on putting websites into a frame with their menu at the top, once websites started blocking the framing of their content, for various security reasons, the idea was dead.

nice thanks for the history!
