I really like HN, but I always wished for a way to filter out certain types of posts (like news or politics) from the front page. So I created a simple website that hits the HN API and shows popular stories. It lets users assign certain domains (e.g. github.com) to different categories, and then only filter the front page to only show certain categories. I mostly made this for myself, but figured I'd share it in case others find it useful. It's still pretty rough visually but functionally it's all there. It doesn't require any account signups to use and you can customize the available categories in the settings page. Cheers!
