- stephengillie 10y agoFor just looking at titles on the front page, here's a one-liner in Powershell that scrapes every 60 seconds, and emails you: While ($True) {If ((iwr https://news.ycombinator.com https://news.ycombinator.com).content.split('", ') | select-string "YourBrand") {Send-MailMessage -from i@i.com -to example@example.com -server MySmtpServer.example.com -subject "YourBrand was mentioned on the front page of HN!"}; Sleep 60}
- codeplea 10y agoDoes your one-liner continue to send the same email every 60 seconds while "YourBrand" is on the front page?
- stephengillie 10y agoYes, you may want to disable it when your brand hits the front page.
