I did like it, but for me it was fixated on 3-5 comments from the last 1-2 months that got a few more upvotes. It didn’t really work as an overview for the year. Still, a pretty cool thingy :)

Yeah, same here. For the comments it took into account it made pretty great roasts, but would have been better if it was actually comprehensive over the course of the year.

Thanks. I now run a two-step process: first pass reads through all posts and comments to extract patterns, second pass uses those to generate the content. Should be much more representative of your full year now :)

My impression was the same as the poster: it still over-indexes on a couple of recent posts.

Of course, it's possible that we've both been repeating ourselves all year long! I mean, I know I do that, I just think I've ridden more hobby horses than it picked up. :-)

It's fun, though. Thanks for sharing - a couple of my "roasts" gave me a genuine chuckle.

Grüezi! Is there a way to re-generate my wrapped?

It was quite different when I tried it again. Still fairly fixated on the last month, but it is definitely better.

My roasts are now substantially more well done now. Well done.

Same here too, I agree its a pretty cool thing but still better to know that it isn't just me who felt like it hyper focused on some comments.

I had a similar experience but overall the idea is super charming. I do like the personalized HN for 2035. Thank you for building it!

I agree, it feels like it only read the most recent few months of comments. The "vibe check" was on point though!
