We (tyk.io) use Slack notifications with Zapier for various searches on HN, Reddit, Twitter, Stackoverflow or even Google Alerts (the last one use built-in Slack `/feed` feature).
- LeonidBugaev 10y agoWorth noticing that HN API provided by https://hn.algolia.com https://hn.algolia.com and Reddit have built-in search API as well.
- amelius 10y agoNot sure how to interpret their pricing plan, but it seems that in Zapier this feature costs money.

- zepolen 10y agoActually Zapier was the reason I made Little Birdie! They had a HN and Reddit integration that didn't work at all and that motivated me to make my own solution, also the $600/year was a bit too much for personal use.
- bryanh 10y agoYou do not need to pay for a Zapier account to do something as simple as HN -> Slack unless you have hundreds of HN mentions a month.
- mohland 10y agoHaha, yeah -- our (Zapier) reddit integration isn't used too much so it wasn't at the top of our list of improvements. I fixed it a few weeks ago since I too was tired of it not working -- I still run dogetipbot over on reddit so I know a bit about breaking (and fixing) reddit bots. ;)
- ruslan_talpa 10y agocan you put at least a contact email on that page? looks shady although very useful service (using it already). What are your future plans for it?
