Ever feel like you're missing the pulse of what's happening in tech? I built this actor because I needed a simple, reliable way to watch the Hacker News front page without constantly refreshing the site. It pulls the top stories in real-time, grabbing the essentials: the headline, the link, the current score, and how many comments it's sparked. I use it to feed a dashboard that tracks trending topics, so I can spot the next big discussion in AI, frameworks, or startup culture as it's happening. It's perfect for developers who want to stay ahead of the curve, content creators looking for timely topics, or anyone who hates manually scraping the HN feed. Just set it to run on a schedule, and you'll get a clean data feed of what the community is talking about right now. It saves me a ton of time and ensures I never miss a key story that could influence my work or projects.
