Show HN: HNSlack – Front page of Hacker News to your Slack, every day

  Would be great to have it post to slack if something reaches X points

    what's the threshold here? and if everyone sets up their own, with a million users, the server is making a million requests to the API and that's not super efficient

      This is a good example of premature optimization at work.

  I have something similar, though it posts random links from HN rather than the entire frontpage. I have it set to run with a cronjob every 4 hours or so. https://github.com/ctrezevant/hackernews-bot https://github.com/ctrezevant/hackernews-bot

    looks good :) I wanted to make it easy to integrate it (someone without any knowledge of code can just set it up on their end and the front page once a day at 4 pm seems like an optimal medium to start with)

      Thank you :) And you did a fantastic job of that, setup is very easy and seamless! By the way, is the source available?
