HN Showcase
AI-curated visual gallery for discovering projects from Hacker News
Visit hnshowcase.com ↗What is HN Showcase?
HN Showcase is a visual directory that surfaces the best projects shared on Hacker News's Show HN community. It automatically captures screenshots of each post, then uses Claude to analyze the visuals alongside page content and GitHub READMEs to rate projects on a tier system (Gem through Pass) with editorial tags like "Wizardry" or "Dark Horse." The site helps users navigate hundreds of daily Show HN submissions to find genuinely interesting work.
The creator built the rating system by iterating with AI, defining the objective of surfacing interesting projects without inflating scores, then letting the model design the tier rubric and calibrate itself on real posts. The project is open source and designed to make Show HN more discoverable for both builders and enthusiasts.
