Show HN: Mood Surf – Discover great Twitter threads by topic

The purpose of Mood Surf is help you find the best content within your niche by connecting you to the top experts.

We believe that the best content for long-tail topics is written by real people, not SEO-optimized sources.

We’ve started with Twitter threads as a rich source of insights on a variety of topics, from programming languages to self-improvement, and hope to expand to index all written content (including blogs, personal homepages, and more).

Technical details: We ran graph analysis on the tech/startup-adjacent subset of Twitter graph to find the top contributors within a given niche. We extracted each user’s threads and embedded them using sentence transformers [0]. The “dive deeper” functionality is powered by approximate nearest neighbor lookup using Pinecone [1]

We hope you like the product — share with us any feedback you have!
