Clean design and useful idea for surfacing buried Show HN posts.
From 4 comments
Really like the design and agree that the idea serves a purpose. Must be really discouraging to brave the Show HN and have it fall flat. Wondered if maybe having the list for…

Objections
Automatic tagging is often wrong or missing relevant topics.
From 2 comments
How are the topics assigned? Two Show HN posts I have posted recently (that are Open-Source and Javascript) don't have the relevant tags attached and I can't see a way of…
superqwert on HNI'm confused. Is this list automated or curated? "Curated by machine" seems like an oxymoron.

Several bugs in search, pagination and display.
From 4 comments
If there is no content is available in a paginated page then it outputs some of your code. CHeck this link - https://hackerhunt.co/topic/blockchain/trending/200000
kumaranvpl on HNNice work! I just noticed a bug though, trying to go to the next page of system software that is sorted by votes doesn't work. Instead of going to the next page, the first page…
hunt on HNHi! Just thought I'd report a bug - when you search, and try to click the comments icon to go to the HN post, it goes to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=undefined
fiiv on HNVery cool. Two bug reports: 1. Do you have a way to receive bug reports other than HN? :) 2. After doing a search, the left category menu disappears, and stays disappeared even…

Add a no-tech or general products category.
From 3 comments
for v2 can you make a "no-tech" category? -- i find that those can be the best threads...especially for the non-techy users on HN. nice work!
artur_makly on HNAre there/will there be categories for general products? I like seeing the new business ideas that come through every now and then that a developer worked on.
6DM on HNFor those of us in industries at the fringes (but still of interest) to HN, want to have an 'Other' category? :-) We make scientific/genetic software - and I'm not sure where we…

Allow users to suggest or add tags.
From 2 comments
Well done! I'd just add a way of suggesting tags for the submitted projects to make them more useful.
ruiramos on HNThe tags are added fully automatic and there is no option to add tags manually for now. That being said, we really want to make the tagging algorithm better, so hit me at…

Questions
How does the automatic categorisation work?
From 2 comments
Looks great. Can you tell us how you built it? I'm most interested in automatic categorization of submitted articles.
veli_joza on HNDoes it use NLP (NER, etc) to categorize the news into topics?
