Today, Hacker News.
Tomorrow, you tell us.
We launched with Hacker News for two reasons. First, the signal-per-post density on HN is higher than any other public source we tested. Second, our own customers already read it — automating something they'd have done by hand was the cleanest possible MVP. Every source after this one is shipped by user vote. The roadmap is public, the votes are real, and the most-voted source ships next.
Hacker News
We watch every front-page submission and every comment thread on it. We watch Show HN, Ask HN, and Tell HN with separate weighting. We poll the official HN API and the public archive — no scraping, no logged-in data.
You configure
- A category description
- One sentence describing what your customers care about. We use this to seed the semantic match.
- Score threshold
- Default is 10; raise it to cut chatter, lower it to catch early signal.
- Keyword whitelist / blacklist
- Optional, useful for narrowing.
- Author exclusions
- Optional. Some HN users post a lot of off-topic noise.
- Classification filter
- Pick which classifications get filed in Linear (feature requests, bugs, competitor mentions, churn risk, raw pain, opportunity, support gap).
What we don't do: ingest dead posts, flagged content, or HN jobs submissions.
Voted by customers.
The next sources are user-voted. Current roadmap, in order of votes at the time of writing:
- 01Reddit — any subreddit, with category bundles
- 02Product Hunt — launch comment threads
- 03X / Twitter — public posts and replies
- 04LinkedIn — public posts and comments
- 05Discord — public-server channels
- 06App Store / Play Store reviews
- 07G2, Capterra, TrustPilot reviews
- 08Substack comment threads
- 09Indie Hackers
- 10GitHub Issues / Discussions on competitor repos
- 11Stack Overflow — opt-in, low signal density
Don't see your source?
Add it on the roadmap. If you're a paying customer and you're the first to add a source that subsequently gets votes, you get the first month on it free.
