I Developed a Daily Product Picks from Hacker News

Introduction

As a primary source of information for many channels, Hacker News sees many excellent projects being launched daily, making it essential to keep track of it regularly.

That's why I created this website, aiming to become an efficient curated platform for Show HN content, helping users quickly understand new projects worth following each day. Through automated content collection, categorization, and multi-language translation, users worldwide can easily access these quality contents.

The content here is generated by an automated script that fetches "Show HN" posts with scores above 3 from Hacker News every morning at 8:00 AM, using DeepSeek API to summarize them into daily Markdown format digests.

Visit: hunt0.com

Core Features

  • Direct retrieval of Show HN category posts using the official Hacker News showstories API
  • Filtering high-quality content with scores above 3 from the past 24 hours
  • Automatic product/project summarization using DeepSeek API
  • Categorizing posts into predefined categories (e.g., developer tools, productivity, etc.)
  • Displaying categories next to each post title for easy identification
  • Generating daily digest reports in Markdown format
  • Supporting scheduled tasks, automatically running at 8:00 AM every morning
  • Multi-language Support: Automatic translation of digests into 9 languages (Chinese, Spanish, German, Japanese, French, Russian, Portuguese, Italian, and Dutch)

Technical Implementation

As briefly mentioned earlier, here's a flowchart to make it easier to understand:

The code won't be open-sourced as it was quickly put together in Cursor, and I haven't reviewed it much myself. The functionality is implemented though.

Finally

Everyone is welcome to follow this daily digest to see what interesting products are being released each day, whether you're looking for inspiration or discovering great products, it's very convenient.
