HackerGames
HackerTube, but for games mentioned on HN
About
HackerGames is a HackerTube-inspired platform that aggregates games mentioned on Hacker News. It currently indexes 138 games with over 42,000 mentions, providing a searchable archive for developers and gamers alike. The project remains a work in progress as more titles are added.
The case
Who it is for
Software engineers and game developers who follow Hacker News to discover and discuss new games.
What is broken today
Before HackerGames, finding game discussions on Hacker News required manually sifting through threads and searching for mentions, which was time‑consuming and fragmented.
What it does about it
HackerGames crawls Hacker News, extracts every game mention, and compiles them into a searchable index, letting users quickly locate and track game discussions in one place.
Why not the obvious alternative
Unlike generic search or manual browsing, HackerGames automatically aggregates all mentions, aggregates statistics such as total mentions, and organizes games by categories, offering a structured view of the HN game ecosystem.
