HackerTube — Videos Hacker News recommends most often
HackerTube ranks YouTube videos by how often Hacker News commenters recommend them. Search by title or channel, then read original quotes with links back to HN.
I kept opening Hacker News threads looking for “what should I watch?” recommendations — talks, deep dives, founder stories, systems videos — and losing the good ones in the noise.
The recommendations were already there, buried in comments. They just weren’t searchable, ranked, or easy to revisit.
So I built HackerTube: an independent directory that ranks YouTube videos by how often HN commenters actually recommend them — then shows the original quotes with links back to the threads.
Not views. Not the YouTube algorithm. Just HN taste, collected in one place.
I’d love your honest take on:
Ranking quality — Does the top of the list feel like “HN recommended,” or are weak / low-signal mentions sneaking through?
Missing videos — Is there a talk or channel you constantly see recommended on HN that isn’t showing up yet?
Discovery UX — When you land on the directory, can you find something worth watching in under a minute?
Quote usefulness — Are the linked HN comments enough context, or do you want more (topic tags, “best first video,” etc.)?
If you’ve ever bookmarked an HN comment just so you wouldn’t lose the video link… this is for you.
