About this plugin
Engineers tracking tech trends often need to check Hacker News, but the usual workflow means bouncing between a browser, a terminal, and API docs, breaking focus. xby-hnews embeds the core Hacker News endpoints directly into DeepSeek Harness conversations, turning information retrieval into a single sentence.
Core capabilities include: fetching top, new, ask, or show story lists; searching posts by keyword; pulling any user submission history; and opening the full comment thread for a specific story. The API key is set once and persists across restarts, so there is no repeated pasting.
Built for engineers and small teams evaluating tech stacks, tracking industry trends, writing weekly reports, or running developer communities. It turns the daily routine of checking HN into one command in a chat window.
Use Cases
- Quickly browse top and new HN stories
- Search discussions by tech keyword
- Pull submission history for a given user
Best For
- Engineers tracking industry trends
- Small teams writing tech weekly reports
- Operators running developer communities
