Still Unbuilt: the 100 tools Hacker News keeps asking for
- Hacker News, 2008 to 2026 I collected every comment and post since 2008 that says “I wish there was”, “is there a tool” or “I’d pay for”: 63,300 of them.
- An AI classifier kept the 12,441 that ask for software.
- These are the 100 tools people asked for most often, across the most years, and are still asking for now.
