Hacker News

Hi there HN, as you may or may not know, Canadians are having an election in a little less than two weeks. Tech is great, but it's even better when it gives power to the people and acts as a force multiplier, so I built this non-partisan site to help my fellow canucks figure out where they can volunteer this month to make a difference. Luckily the Canadian system elects our chief executive from whoever has a plurality of support among elected representatives(this is an oversimplification of the actual process.) That means that volunteering in a competitive riding close to you can have a massive impact.

The site loads riding boundary data, geocodes the postal code using ArcGIS, and finds the nearest competitive riding.

Source is linked in the footer and feel free to ask me questions in the comments, or better yet submit a pull request if you think of anything else useful I've missed. Looking forward to seeing what you all think.

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 I originally made this for myself but thought others might find it useful too.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!
