I wanted to see what changed, and who was still at it years later. So, I built this site to answer some of those questions.

A couple of things you can do: type in your idea and see who already tried it, look up your username and see what you were working on in 2020, see who’s been working on the same thing for a decade, or what founders posted before they had a company.

I built it using Claude Code. Claude Sonnet read all 20,982 top-level replies and pulled out a name, description, topic and how AI was involved. One finding is that AI went from 1% of answers in 2009–11 to 33% this year.

A few limits of the result: labels are model output, and I only spot-checked them. The HN thread only went monthly in 2024, so early years are thin. If I’ve mislabeled your project, or you’d rather not be included, please tell me.

If you’ve been posting here for years, I’d love to hear what happened to those projects.26:T4e4,Hey HN community, I built MergeAtlas - a better way to review PRs when bulk of the code is written by AI agents. It is a skill for your coding agent plus a small python script.

MergeAtlas was built from a simple premise - When AI agents are writing the code, there's no need to review every single line of code. Instead it is better to understand the intent, important lines, and the blast radius.

MergeAtlas helps you see the intents behind file changes, understand why each file was changed, and PR's scope all before you read a single line of code. When you are ready to read the code, MergeAtlas singles out the key lines from each file, so you are only focused on the most important lines.

It goes further than GitHub's Files Changed tab as it also determines what files outside of the PR are affected by the changes.

I tuned the skill till I was satisfied with the result in terms of structure, explanations, and verbosity.

There's a live demo on the website based on an actual PR from excalidraw. Play around with it, and any feedback is welcome.
