+ <img width="1280" height="640" alt="hackernews-intel" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/8d75cba9-7c2b-4693-8365-00779ed2b3d3" />
4
+
5
+
6
+ Monitor Hacker News for keywords. Get a Slack alert every time a new post matches your topics, without duplicates. Run it manually, on a cron schedule, or via GitHub Actions.
7
+
8
+ ## What It Does
9
+
10
+ - Fetches new posts from HN using the free Algolia search API (no API key needed)
11
+ - Checks each match against a local SQLite cache and never alerts on the same post twice
12
+ - Sends a Slack notification with title, URL, points, and comment count
13
+ - Supports dry-run mode to preview matches without sending alerts
14
+ - Configurable lookback window, minimum points threshold, and comment inclusion
15
+
16
+ ## Requirements
17
+
18
+ | Requirement | Purpose | Where to Get It |
19
+ |------------|---------|-----------------|
20
+ | HN_KEYWORDS | Keywords to monitor | Set in .env, comma-separated list |
21
+ | SLACK_WEBHOOK | Slack alerts | https://api.slack.com/apps, Incoming Webhooks |
22
+ | Node.js 20+ | Running the script | https://nodejs.org |
23
+
24
+ No API key needed for Hacker News. The HN Algolia API is free and public.
25
+
26
+ ## Setup
27
+
28
+ ### 1. Install dependencies
29
+
30
+ ```bash
31
+ cd hackernews-intel
32
+ npm install
33
+ ```
34
+
35
+ ### 2. Configure environment variables
36
+
37
+ ```bash
38
+ cp .env.example .env
39
+ ```
40
+
41
+ Edit `.env`:
42
+
43
+ ```bash
44
+ HN_KEYWORDS=claude code,LLM agents,deno runtime
45
+ SLACK_WEBHOOK=https://hooks.slack.com/services/your/webhook/url
46
+ HN_MIN_POINTS=0
47
+ ```
48
+
49
+ ### 3. Create a Slack webhook
50
+
51
+ 1. Go to https://api.slack.com/apps and create or select your app
52
+ 2. Enable "Incoming Webhooks" in the app settings
53
+ 3. Add a webhook to your workspace and select the target channel
54
+ 4. Copy the webhook URL (starts with `https://hooks.slack.com/services/`)
55
+ 5. Set it as `SLACK_WEBHOOK` in `.env`
56
+
57
+ ## How to Use
58
+
59
+ Preview the last 7 days without sending alerts:
60
+
61
+ ```bash

69
+ ```bash
70
+ npm run monitor
71
+ # or
72

76
+
77
+ ```bash

+ | `HN_MIN_POINTS` | `0` | Minimum points to alert |
125
+ | `HN_INCLUDE_COMMENTS` | `false` | Also monitor HN comments |
126

127
+
128
+ ## CLI Flags
129
+
130
+ | Flag | Purpose |
131
+ |------|---------|
132
+ | `--dry-run` | Preview matches without sending Slack alerts |
133
+ | `--days=N` | Lookback window for the first run (default: 1) |
134
+ | `--reset` | Clear the cache and start fresh |
135
+
136
+ ## GitHub Actions Note
137
+
138
+ GitHub Actions does not persist files between workflow runs. The SQLite cache resets on each run, and the script re-fetches the last 1 day of posts every time. Posts from the previous run will be alerted again.
139
+
140
+ To fix this, either:
141
+ - Store `hn-intel.db` in an S3 bucket and download/upload it around the script run
142
+ - Use a self-hosted runner with persistent storage
143
+ - Use a cron job on your own machine instead

+ # Hacker News Intel
10
+
11
+ Monitor Hacker News for keywords. On each run, fetch new posts via the HN Algolia API, deduplicate against a local SQLite cache, and send Slack alerts for unseen matches. Run manually or schedule via cron or GitHub Actions.
12
+
13
+ ---
14
+
15
+ ## Step 1: Check Setup
16
+
17
+ **1a. Verify required environment variables**
18
+
19
+ Check that these are set:
20
+ - `HN_KEYWORDS` (required): comma-separated list of keywords to monitor
21
+ - `SLACK_WEBHOOK` (required): Slack Incoming Webhook URL for alerts
22
+
23
+ If either is missing, stop and tell the user:
24
+ - `HN_KEYWORDS`: list the topics you want to monitor, comma-separated. Example: `claude code,LLM agents,deno runtime`
25
+ - `SLACK_WEBHOOK`: create an Incoming Webhook at https://api.slack.com/apps. Select your workspace, enable Incoming Webhooks, and copy the URL.
26
+
27
+ **1b. Verify script dependencies**
28
+
29
+ ```bash
30
+ ls /Users/ksd/Desktop/Varnan_skills/hackernews-intel/node_modules/better-sqlite3 2>/dev/null
31
+ ```
32
+
33
+ If missing:
34
+
35
+ ```bash
36
+ cd /Users/ksd/Desktop/Varnan_skills/hackernews-intel && npm install
37
+ ```
38
+
39
+ ---
40
+
41
+ ## Step 2: Run the Monitor
42
+
43
+ ```bash
44
+ cd /Users/ksd/Desktop/Varnan_skills/hackernews-intel && node scripts/monitor-hn.js
45
+ ```
46
+
47
+ **Flags:**
48
+ - `--dry-run`: print matches to stdout without sending any Slack alerts. Use this to preview what would be alerted before committing.
49
+ - `--days=N`: on the first run, look back N days (default: 1). Only applies when the SQLite cache is empty.
50
+ - `--reset`: clear the cache and start fresh. Use when you change your keyword list significantly.
51
+
52
+ **What the script does:**
53
+ 1. Reads `HN_KEYWORDS` from environment, splits by comma, trims whitespace
54
+ 2. Opens (or creates) a SQLite database at the path in `HN_DB_PATH` (default: `./hn-intel.db`)
55
+ 3. For each keyword, calls `https://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search_by_date` with `numericFilters=created_at_i>lastSeen`
56
+ 4. For each result, checks if the `objectID` is already in `seen_posts` — skips if yes
57
+ 5. If `HN_MIN_POINTS` is set, skips posts below that threshold
58
+ 6. For new matching posts, sends a Slack alert and inserts the `objectID` into the cache
59
+ 7. Updates `poll_log` with the run summary
60
+ 8. Prints a summary to stdout
61
+
62
+ ---
63
+
64
+ ## Step 3: Review Results
65
+
66
+ After the script runs, read its stdout output. It will report:
67
+
68
+ ```
69
+ Run complete.
70
+ Keywords checked: N
71
+ Posts found: N
72
+ Posts alerted: N
73
+ Posts skipped (already seen): N
74
+ Errors: N
75
+ ```
76
+
77
+ If `Posts found: 0` and you expect results, check:
78
+ - Are the keywords specific enough? Very broad terms (e.g. "AI") may return 0 results if HN Algolia returns too many and the time window is narrow
79
+ - Is the `--days` window large enough for the first run? Try `--days=7`
80
+ - Is the DB cache too aggressive? Try `--reset` to clear it and rerun
81
+
82
+ If `Posts alerted: 0` but `Posts found: N`, the deduplication is working — those posts were seen in a previous run.
83
+
84
+ ---
85
+
86
+ ## Step 4: Schedule the Monitor
87
+
88
+ **Option A: cron (macOS/Linux)**
89
+
90
+ Add to crontab to run every 4 hours:
91
+
92
+ ```bash
93
+ crontab -e
94
+ ```
95
+
96
+ Add this line (adjust the path to match your install):
97
+
98
+ ```
99
+ 0 */4 * * * cd /Users/ksd/Desktop/Varnan_skills/hackernews-intel && node scripts/monitor-hn.js >> /tmp/hn-intel.log 2>&1
100
+ ```
101
+
102
+ **Option B: GitHub Actions (recommended for teams)**
103
+
104
+ Create `.github/workflows/hn-intel.yml` in any repo:
105
+
106
+ ```yaml
107
+ name: HN Intel Monitor
108
+ on:
109
+ schedule:
110
+ - cron: '0 */4 * * *'
111
+ workflow_dispatch:
112
+
113
+ jobs:
114
+ monitor:
115
+ runs-on: ubuntu-latest
116
+ steps:
117
+ - uses: actions/checkout@v4
118
+ - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
119
+ with:
120
+ node-version: '20'
121
+ - name: Install dependencies
122
+ run: npm install
123
+ working-directory: hackernews-intel
124
+ - name: Run monitor
125
+ run: node scripts/monitor-hn.js
126
+ working-directory: hackernews-intel
127
+ env:
128
+ HN_KEYWORDS: ${{ secrets.HN_KEYWORDS }}
129
+ SLACK_WEBHOOK: ${{ secrets.SLACK_WEBHOOK }}
130
+ HN_MIN_POINTS: ${{ secrets.HN_MIN_POINTS }}
131
+ ```
132
+
133
+ Add `HN_KEYWORDS`, `SLACK_WEBHOOK`, and optionally `HN_MIN_POINTS` as repository secrets.
134
+
135
+ Note: GitHub Actions does not persist files between runs, so the SQLite cache resets each run. This means every run will find all posts within the default 1-day lookback window again. For persistent dedup on GitHub Actions, store the DB in a persistent location (S3, artifact cache, or a dedicated branch).
136
+
137
+ ---
138
+
139
+ ## Step 5: Tune Keywords and Thresholds
140
+
141
+ **Adding or changing keywords:**
142
+ Update `HN_KEYWORDS` in your `.env` or environment. No restart needed — the script reads it fresh each run.
143
+
144
+ **Setting a minimum points threshold:**
145
+ Set `HN_MIN_POINTS=10` to only alert on posts with 10 or more points. This cuts noise for broad keywords.
146
+
147
+ **Including comments (not just stories):**
148
+ Set `HN_INCLUDE_COMMENTS=true` to also monitor comments mentioning the keyword. Off by default — comments generate significantly more volume.
149
+
150
+ **Resetting the cache:**
151
+ Run `node scripts/monitor-hn.js --reset` to clear `seen_posts` and `poll_log`. The next run fetches fresh from the lookback window.
152
+
153
+ **Testing a new keyword:**
154
+ Run `node scripts/monitor-hn.js --dry-run --days=7` to see the last 7 days of matching posts without alerting anyone.
