Hacker Times is a mashup of Hacker News, Digital Newspaper Interface, Reader Systems (think Pocket, Safari Reader, Instapaper etc.), and LLMs (Large Language Models).
Hacker Times is built with Next.js, hosted on Vercel, and powered by OpenAI's GPT-4o-mini model for generating summaries. Images are provided by Pexels based on a LLM's keyword generation. Content is parsed dependent on the article's URL using Jina.ai. GitHub repos use the GitHub API to retrieve the README.md file.
Of course, not everyone wants their content to be shown by third-party services. Hacker Times follows the rules of robots.txt when accessing external resources. If you would like to block Hacker Times from accessing your website, you can add the following line to your robots.txt file:
User-agent: HackerTimesBot Disallow: /
Further, if you would like to explicitly allow Hacker Times to access your website, you can add the following line to your robots.txt file:
