I have something similar, though it posts random links from HN rather than the entire frontpage. I have it set to run with a cronjob every 4 hours or so.

looks good :) I wanted to make it easy to integrate it (someone without any knowledge of code can just set it up on their end and the front page once a day at 4 pm seems like an optimal medium to start with)

Thank you :)

And you did a fantastic job of that, setup is very easy and seamless!

By the way, is the source available?

Would be great to have it post to slack if something reaches X points

what's the threshold here? and if everyone sets up their own, with a million users, the server is making a million requests to the API and that's not super efficient

This is a good example of premature optimization at work.
