Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Posts about a tiny telescope the author built, per the HN thread title. The one comment reports that the post links led to a raw .mdx file path instead of the page, and does not judge the writing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
Lucas Sifoni — independent Elixir and BEAM developer in Cahors, co-founder of Alzo and telescope maker.

What Hacker News says?
Still working on Alzo [1], my services startup for french architecture companies. These days I spend most of my time writing client-specific apps [2] that are hot loaded on demand into my Elixir monolith. So far I like this architecture a lot because it is hard to break anything in it. [1] https://alzo.archi [2] https://lucassifoni.info/blog/leveraging-hot-code-loading-fo...

HN discussionCool, thank you very much. I just tried it, the links don't seem to be working. I get sent to https://lucassifoni.info/miniscope-tiny-telescope.mdx for example

HN discussionPosts about my amateur astronomy / telescope making hobby, or work-unrelated programming projects, mostly Elixir. Before this site I worked on my side-projects by coding things and then eventually blog about it, now I try to write about what I'll code, then code it. https://lucassifoni.info/blog/

HN discussionTo me, there are two models that stand out from the crowd : - The Hadley, a 4"1/2 f/9 dobsonian telescope, which is a smaller aperture but easy to build and to find optics for, and very mature : https://www.printables.com/model/224383-astronomical-telesco... - The "open smallest telescope" from a friend, which I show here, a foldable 6inch f5 dobsonian : https://lucassifoni.info/blog/2025-best-6-inch-f5-150-750-po..…
