We (Nick, Dens, Denzell, Fede, Drew, Aaryan, and Daniel) have been building HN Discovery, a discovery-focused search engine for Hacker News, in our spare time for the past 6 months and are excited to show it! It adds the following features relative to the existing keyword search interface and preserves the existing ones:

- no-JS version (hnnojs.trieve.ai)

- site:{required_site} and site:{negated-site} filters

- public analytics

- LLM generated query suggestions based on random stories

- recommendations

- dense vector semantic search

- SPLADE fulltext search

- RAG AI chat

- order by descendant count

client code (FOSS self-hostable) - https://github.com/devflowinc/trieve-hn-discovery

engine code (BSL source-available) - https://github.com/devflowinc/trieve

There is an extended about page with detailed information on features, how much it costs to run, etc. here - https://hn.trieve.ai/about.
