How are you generating these lists

If you click the website's name to the right of the title, it pulls up all the submissions from the same site:

Even then I don't see a direct way to extract a list like this.

I think it's safe to assume that dang has access to tools that we mortals are unable to comprehend, without being driven to madness.

For this use case, of finding related threads, I thought he wrote not special tools, but rather uses just

https://hn.algolia.com/

Even using algolia, I don't see a way to generate a list in this exact format.

I think ChrisMarshallNY is right, dang has access to eldritch powers.

the Glider HN app for Android shows related posts with high overlap to dang's list, so it must be possible for mere mortals after all.

It was really just a rhetorical joke, but I wrote an app that is a system, based on a custom backend and native frontend.

I wrote a special native management app, and often use that, to implement dashboard functionality, like the kind of thing that the HN mods do.

Yeah, I could, for example, feed the logs into an LLM, and get fancy reports, but it’s a lot easier to simply hit the charts button in the navbar, and view interactive graphs, customized exactly for my workflow.

I can only imagine opening dbeaver and running "select * from hn.posts where site like '%github.com/philipl`"
