Hey HN,

I wanted a way to quickly see only the YouTube videos being shared on Hacker News without wading through other links. So, I built this little tool. I used to use https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=youtube.com to check YouTube links, but it lacked thumbnails, so I built one just to do it.

It uses the hn.algolia.com API and is built with Nuxt3. I originally made this for myself but thought others might find it useful too.

You can try it here: https://hn-yt.netlify.app/

Happy to hear any feedback or suggestions!

I see a set of large images where the mouse cursor indicates they are clickable, but clicking in Firefox with AdBlock enabled doesn't work. I clicked for a long time and realized you're making fun of me?

PS: just use https://github.com/justinribeiro/lite-youtube

Cool. Was hacker-tube not available?

I prefer a denser layout like 3 or 4 across. You could just have it auto-flow without side margins, then zooming smaller would naturally just do that.

Great! I'm missing 'Most points Last Week', 'Most points Last Month' etc. That would be nice!

Sometimes I do use the search functionality to find something to watch. But this looks neat.

Does it include those from comments? Great videos to be found there, too.
