Show HN: Replay Iconic HN Stories

3 jasonthorsness 2 5/22/2025, 1:29:46 PM hn.unlurker.com ↗

Do you remember when Dropbox was announced? Bitcoin? Go?

Hacker News remembers. It has become one of the best databases of post-2006 tech history.

I attempted to recreate the feeling of "being there" for noteworthy discussions by animating the comments as they unfold:

Dropbox introduced

https://hn.unlurker.com/replay?item=8863

Nobody cares about Chrome?

https://hn.unlurker.com/replay?item=292634

Early Bitcoin (this one is a bit of a joke. I hope you bought some, jdoliner)

https://hn.unlurker.com/replay?item=599852

Go Language Announced

https://hn.unlurker.com/replay?item=934142

Stripe Introduced

https://hn.unlurker.com/replay?item=3053883

More in drop-down on the site or enter any other item ID. Better on desktop.

Why do the comments disappear?

Why only some selected stories and not anyone?

jasonthorsness · 5h ago

The comments stay visible for the “window” period in the upper right. If they didn’t disappear it gets too crowded. You can make the window bigger to see this.

I picked some cool stories but you can type any story ID to see that one.

Thanks for taking a look!
