I occasionally use https://hckrnews.com to catchup on the top 20 daily posts.

> hit hide on the domains that I never want to see anything from

I don't thing 'hide' applies to the domain of the post, but only the post itself: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html#:~:text=What%20do%...

I imagine OP knows but uses the domain to hide the article based on his own instinct/history with said domain.

It would actually be nice to be able to hide based on domains

Or even title keyword. Block [AI, Claude, Anthropic, OpenAI, Codex, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Qwen] and enjoy a clean, pleasant HN.

A tool I wrote can do this: https://github.com/dan-lovelace/hacker-news-reader

I’ve implemented something like that at https://hn-ai.org/.

It at least filters out some of the slop articles, making it easier to find the potentially interesting stories.

2 of the top 3 posts are currently AI-topical. Might need to expand the heuristic

That said, I like it, and have bookmarked.

You’re right, I need to do that. It would create a glitch in the historical graph, but still, there’s too much slop getting through.

Exactly so.

I wouldn't limit it to RSS. They need any structured data (JSON, XML/RSS, CSV etc.).

Systems and agents need to monitor and extract public web content into fresh structured data for their ingestion, intelligence workflows and analysis.

* Shameless plug * Our data infrastructure layer for businesses and AI turns continuously updated websites into a stream of structured data.

Imo, ease and multi-line HTML readability of CDATA outweighs that one edge case (it cannot directly contain its own terminator).

But are most people going to read raw RSS? Just out of curiosity, I checked HN RSS, it still escapes character in a regular way (without CDATA) for titles. So, just keep 2 versions of XML escape instead of one?

I would have liked the option of non-touch display, and although the display is variable rate (30-120Hz) it's not going to be as optimal as the 1-120Hz panel in the Dell XPS 14 getting it to 40+ hours (https://x.com/dhh/status/2040139744445673938).

That is not the same extension OP is referencing/discussing: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/json-formatter/bcji...
