Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Hacker News Post Analyzer do?

It extracts the full HN discussion — the original post, all comments ranked by engagement, and AI-powered theme clustering. See what the HN community really thinks, not just the top comment.

Is it free?

Yes, completely free. You can analyze up to 3 posts per hour without signing up. Create a free account for unlimited analyses.

What types of HN posts work?

Any Hacker News item — Show HN, Ask HN, regular links, and discussions. Posts with more comments give richer analysis.

How is this different from just reading HN comments?

We cluster comments by theme and weight them by reply depth and engagement. Instead of scrolling through 200+ comments, you see the key themes: what people agree on, what they push back on, and what sparks debate.

Can I track a topic across multiple HN posts?

Yes — create a free CrowdListen workspace to monitor any topic across Hacker News, Reddit, and 14+ other platforms with automated research.
