It lists entries in a chronological view and let's you filter it by top 10/20/50%/frontpage/all. I've been using it as default HN client for years now and really recommend it.
I consume HN almost exclusively through RSS. hnrss.org offers many options for customizing your feed, including whether you want to link to the linked website or the comments page and many others...
I created an IFTTT workflow. Whenever there is a post that's gaining traction on Hackernews I get a notification on my Slack. I use some Slack features to remind me of it later if i am busy, also Pin somethings or Star.
I was looking for something like this. Any idea whether IFTTT expose some api where i can create custom hooks for some other personal applications may be like android app?
Not sure about the API, I just used whatever was currently available. I am sure there might be someplace on IFTTTs api - https://platform.ifttt.com/docs this may be a good place to start.
TLDR: Its a mystery to me. I don’t know where HN is sending this from!
This is how my workflow looks like if ‘top story on HN’ then ‘slack me’ Now when I created this workflow, I was expecting to get results when something hits the front page-top news but what I saw was—it giving me news with even 2 upvotes sometimes and that thing wasn’t even there on the first page. Honestly it’s a mystery to me. In fact I even tried comparing ‘new section’ with the results I was receiving and they didn’t match! You can check this on IFTTT hackernews just select top news when creating your workflow. Also what I realized was these news hit the top section a while later the notifications-not all but a lot.
I've been thinking of trying to hook up a neural network for this that could send me summaries of what I tell it I'm interested in but also what it 'thinks' that I might be interested in.
Nice, though throwing a little context along with the url wouldn't hurt. For those that haven't opened the url yet, it's a list of "trending" HN topics for the last 8, 16 or 24 hours.
Is it only using hacker news as a source, or other sites too? I only saw HN links, but I didn't look at them all.
