Hacker News · built in

Hacker News, minus the tab-hopping.

Muuted speaks the Hacker News API natively, and follows Lobsters, GitHub, Stack Overflow, DEV and arXiv as first-class sources. Read the comment thread on any story without leaving your feed, see when an article from any of your sources is being discussed on HN, and follow HN Best, a user, or a keyword like any other source.

A real Muuted discussion card with points and comment count.

The thread

The discussion opens right on the card.

Stories from Hacker News wear a small comment-count pill. Tap it and the whole discussion opens in a sheet inside Muuted — threaded, indented, readable, with the author and age on every comment and a link out to HN if you want to reply. No new tab, no losing your place in the feed.

THREADED

Threaded, not flattened

Replies nest the way they do on HN, so the argument structure survives the trip.

LAZY

Lazy by design

Counts load only as cards approach your screen — a feed full of HN stories costs nothing until you scroll to it.

Any source

Any story shows when HN is talking about it.

Quiet threads stay quiet.

Not just stories that came from HN

A BBC piece, a Nature paper, a blog post from your own subscriptions — if it has a real discussion on HN, the card says “HN · 48 comments” and one tap opens the thread.

Only when there is something to read

The pill only appears when there is an actual conversation worth reading, so a quiet link stays a quiet link.

HN as a source

Best-of, a user, or a keyword — each is just a source.

Type any of these where you would paste a source address, and it joins your feed like everything else:

BEST

The best of HN

hn: best — the top-voted stories of the last few days, not the churn of the new page.

USER

A specific user

hn: @tptacek — one person's submissions as a feed. Pasting their HN profile link works too.

KEYWORD

A keyword

hn: rust — new HN stories matching a topic you care about, and only that topic.

Plain Hacker News is in our source directory too — search “Hacker News” and tap Add.

The rest of the dev web

Lobsters, GitHub, Stack Overflow, DEV and arXiv — same one-line syntax.

Hacker News was the start — the same open-feed approach covers YouTube channels and podcasts. Every one of these publishes open feeds, so there is no API key, no quota, and no vendor who can throttle you. Type any of them where you would paste a source address:

Lobsters

lobsters: all for the front page, or lobsters: rust for a single tag.

GitHub releases

github: rust-lang/rust follows a project's releases. Add /commits to watch the code instead.

Stack Exchange

se: python for a Stack Overflow tag, or se: askubuntu/bash for any other site in the network.

DEV

dev: rust for a tag, dev: @author for one writer.

arXiv

arxiv: cs.AI — new papers in any archive, from machine learning to hep-th.

Or take the whole set

The Dev Web starter pack adds Lobsters, HN Best, GitHub's changelog and engineering blogs, DEV, the Stack Overflow blog, Changelog and arXiv in one tap.

Your rules

It is HN on your terms, not HN taking over your feed.

Every HN story passes through the same deterministic rules as every other source.

Your mute words

A muted word applies to HN stories the same as everywhere else.

Your junk filters

The same deterministic filters that clean up the rest of your feed.

Your always-show list

Exceptions you set carry through to Hacker News stories too.

Or none of it

If you would rather read without the comment counts entirely, a one-tap toggle in Feed Sort turns the whole thing off.
