Show HN: 13M opinions on 48k products extracted from Reddit and HN

TrustMeBro Reviews turns recommendations and opinions from Reddit and Hacker News into searchable product rankings. Its Hacker News view reports 925,678 mentions across 10,153 entities and 104,240 accounts; the displayed rankings draw on 68,607 mentions from the last 12 months. Products are ranked within 40 categories using a consensus score that weights sentiment by account trust and recency, while smoothing results toward each category’s average. Entries with fewer than three mentions and those mentioned by only one account are excluded, helping prevent sparse or isolated opinions from dominating.

The rankings reveal what Hacker News users favor across software and technology: Django leads web frameworks, Rust leads programming languages, uv tops terminal and command-line tools, SQLite leads databases, and Tailscale ranks first in infrastructure. Other strong recommendations include Pi among AI assistants, OpenAI Codex among coding agents, GrapheneOS among operating systems, and Home Assistant for self-hosting. The accompanying descriptions explain the use cases behind each recommendation - for example, SQLite for local storage and prototyping, GrapheneOS for privacy-minded Android users, and Tailscale for secure remote access without manual network configuration. The result is a quantified snapshot of community consensus, rather than a simple tally of mentions.
