About Us

Track HN is a data-first tool for tracking, archiving, visualizing, and analyzing Hacker News. We capture continuous snapshots of the feed—score, rank, and comment history—so you can study Show HN launch velocity, Ask HN discussion patterns, user activity, and topic trends over time.

What we do

• Archive every story, comment, and user profile from Hacker News, including Show HN and Ask HN
• Capture score/rank snapshots at regular intervals to build time-series data
• Provide a dashboard for exploring stories, comments, and user activity
• Offer a browser extension that overlays history charts on news.ycombinator.com

Built for

Developers, indie creators, founders, investors, and researchers who care about how stories move through the Hacker News ecosystem. We optimize for clarity over flash—compact data density, precise labels, and minimal UI chrome.
