This week's digest covers four sources: Show HN (points and comments), new GitHub repos (stars), Lobsters (score) and Product Hunt (new launches). The figures are a snapshot taken at 08:01 on 26 October 2026 — points and stars keep climbing after that moment.
👾 Show HN — 36 posts from 20 points
- Steal My Bitcoin — 585 pts · 435 comments · 21 pts/h
- I put employees inside S&P 500 market-cap bubbles — 165 pts · 47 comments · 17 pts/h
- SimCity, but with Permits — 938 pts · 425 comments · 7 pts/h
- Farol – A risk map of a pull request for the person who approves it — 58 pts · 37 comments · 5 pts/h
- OnKey – I'm a bad singer, so I built an app to show where I'm off-key — 232 pts · 91 comments · 3 pts/h
- Corgi, a helpful {agent, terminal} multiplexer — 137 pts · 46 comments · 3 pts/h
The order above is by points per hour, which favours recent posts: SimCity has 938 points but ranks third because it is 130 hours old, while Steal My Bitcoin at 585 points and 31 hours ranks first. For total points, read the points column before the points/hour column.
