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_USER>>: 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.
