For Hacker News Daily I make requests to https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com/v0/ https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com/v0/
IIRC I made this change at the suggestion of someone at YC (maybe dang, but it might have been before he took over HN) so I think it's very likely that this is the route they would prefer you to use. But if in doubt, send them an email; dang is very responsive.
- i336_ 9y agoHmmm. What would you recommend for the instance where someone's emailed hn@ycombinator.com and hasn't gotten a response? I suspect it's something I said, I'm just unsure exactly what. I asked about the posting and API ratelimits, the reviewer idea mentioned at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11662380 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11662380, source release (notwithstanding the voting system, which is fine), and other curios. I don't think I said anything offensive. I have successfully gotten in touch in the past, so I'm just not sure what to do. The email was sent on the 27th of April; I just checked my spam folder (I must admit I didn't until now...), but I don't think gmail would have deleted any incorrectly-filed replies, since they'd be less than a month old. I'm not complaining or trying to create drama, just curious what to do next. My fear is that it's not possible to answer the "what did I do" question due to social context and so forth (a hole I've fallen into many, many times due to communication perception issues).
- i336_ 9y agoUpdate for the record: I was, very happily, completely wrong. dang got in touch to let me know the delay was due to backlog and that he'll properly reply when he gets the chance. Absolutely fine by me; I'm super glad to know my email was fine :D
