SearchYC.com

I've checked with

http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/http://searchyc.com/

and it seems to be down again.

Does anyone know of a cheap web based source code escrow service? We currently pay an exorbitant amount and I seem to remember a startup being mentioned here that does exactly this, but no amount of searchyc'ing has helped.

Ironically, I was checking into HN to find "Down for me" and I wanted to use SearchYC, but it appears to be down for me! And has been for a while.

So I turned to Google, found http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/searchyc.com and it's not just me.

Any news?

I've always wanted to read HN commentary of a page within the page itself, instead of flipping back and forth to HN.

So I wrote this greasemonkey script that embeds HN comments on top of any HN-submitted page.

I'd like to thank Michael Cheng (chengmi) for extending the searchYC API.

Edit: For the time being, it won't work on the newest submitted posts. searchYC should cache the page about an hour after submission. In the future I'll parse the HN newest page as well.

Which companies have you a) heard of and b) know basically what they do?

I got to wondering how much brand awareness occurs on HN with companies/people that post here. To see posts about them on HN, use searchyc.com, which is what I used to generate this list. Note: I reposted this poll with a shorter list.

I've been wondering where places like Yelp get all of their data from. From some sets of data surely there are databases that one can purchase and use? I checked searchyc.com but couldn't find anything suitable.

(Sorry, I couldn't find my answer on either google or searchyc.)

What's the best way to register a domain name without making the owner's name publicly available? Are some registrars known for being better at holding on to your info? I recall someone mentioning on here that Godaddy doesn't try very hard at keeping that info secure if they are pressed, though I may be wrong.

I've recently released a new version of HN Comment Embed, a greasemonkey script that embeds HN discussions into the webpage being discussed.

You simply browse to a posted page, and the HN panel pops up on the side.

This version relies on searchYC as its main source, but also parses HN's newest posts page to attain full coverage.

There are many sites that derive content from Hacker News, including the popular, http://searchyc.com

What other HN derived sites or tools do you know about or use?

It'd be great to see a reference post about such derivative sites, just like the feature requests item, and that's why I am posting.

This question may have been posted before as it's important for users, site developers and HN itself.

By not having such a reference freely available, people may be missing out on something that'd really help.
