Hacker News Top 10 to Inbox
A zero-cost Hacker News briefing delivered straight to your InTouch inbox. It fetches the current top stories and drops a clean, ready-to-read summary in your inbox — no AI, no credentials, no account.
How it works
| # | Task | Tool | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | fetch-hn |
hacker-news-top |
Pulls the current top N stories (title, URL, score, comment count) from the public Hacker News API and emits a formatted summary. No credentials. |
| 2 | send-to-inbox |
message |
Delivers that summary to your InTouch inbox (or any contact you choose), subject-stamped with the date. |
Setup
Contact — <<NOTIFY_PUBLISHER>>: who receives the digest (e.g. intouch).
Story count — change count on the fetch-hn task to get more or fewer
stories (default 10).
Schedule — run it on a schedule (e.g. every morning at 7am) for a standing news briefing. It's stateless and cheap, so ad-hoc runs work fine too.
Requirements
Tool: hacker-news-top — bundled in the hub.
