Imagga Blog is the company blog at imagga.com, writing about ai. Since 2015, 5 different Hacker News readers have linked it 20 times. It is still writing: the last post was on 2026-09-28, and you can follow it by feed.
Too few sampled comments (3) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN commenters mention Imagga as an image recognition and auto-tagging vendor in discussions of photo search and cloud vision APIs. The comments do not discuss the blog's writing; the links point to its auto-tagging product page.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 3 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
Advanced AI APIs for image and video recognition, content moderation, tagging and organizing visual assets, and enhancing visual search.
What Hacker News says?
There are multiple open source libraries for this, however optimising and iterating is the key. Preparing the dataset to be representative enough and has no overlap of categories/labels is also quite important. This custom categorization is actually one of our most requested services at Imagga - here is some info if you are interested - http://imagga.com/solutions/custom-categorization.html
