On: Ask YC Archive

sed s/\ /\\\n/g < Ask_YC_Archive | grep id\= | cut -d '=' -f 3 | cut -d '"' -f 1 | sort -n

gives 363096 as the highest id there, so http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=363096 is the latest entry that was added to the collection, which is 1 year and 9 months old.

There must be plenty of quality stuff added in the meantime. Is there a reason why the list is no longer updated? It's a wonderful resource by the looks of it.

Happy to bring it up to date and update it regularly if it gets linked on news.yc where people can find it.

Gabriel mentioned it was manually done and took a lot of time. Fair enough, but boy I wish it was updated and current.

Try this:

Agreed.

    $ wget -qO- http://www.gabrielweinberg.com/startupswiki/Ask_YC_Archive |
    > egrep -o 'item\?id=[0-9]+' |
    > sort -t= -k2nr |
    > sed q
    item?id=363096
    $

It still would be nice to have an open api on hacker news. At least so that i don't have to rely on delicious to see what i upvoted.
