Summary

This tool helps you discover recent hidden gems on Hacker News – high-effort posts that haven't gotten much attention. Why "Recent"? We search the HN API's Ask, Show, and New story feeds, which typically contain posts from the last 3-7 days. This ensures fresh content while keeping the search fast. Passion Score Posts are ranked by their Passion Score, which identifies high-effort, low-engagement content: Passion Score = (Text Length Score) / (Engagement + 1) Where: • Text Length Score = min(text_length / 500, 10) • Engagement = votes + (comments × 2) Higher scores indicate more "overlooked" posts – substantial writing with minimal recognition. Perfect for finding thoughtful contributions that the community may have missed.
