Ask HN: Is there a Hacker News endpoint for the “Tell HN” posts?
If you google "site:news.ycombinator.com tell hn", you can see that there are a lot of posts which have the "Tell HN" prefix. Is there an actual end point for this similar to the "Ask HN"?
I looked at the "lists" at the bottom of the page but it doesn't list it.
- envolt 8y agoYou can build a simple webpage for yourself using the APIs Here is the start point - https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com/v0/showstories.json?print=pretty https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com/v0/showstories.json?print... More - https://github.com/HackerNews/API https://github.com/HackerNews/API This could be a plain html page, which you can bookmark and check daily.
- busymom0 8y agoSorry, I think you misunderstood my question. I am asking whether there is a particular page which already exists which shows all the "Tell HN:" posts. Similar to how http://news.ycombinator.com/ask http://news.ycombinator.com/ask shows the posts for "Ask HN:" and http://news.ycombinator.com/show http://news.ycombinator.com/show shows the posts for "Show HN:". So is there something like http://news.ycombinator.com/tell http://news.ycombinator.com/tell ?
- mtmail 8y agoIt was never a category. In the last 12 months there were 125 such posts, so 1 every 3 days. Some 'merry christmas' and 'this site is down'. In the last month it was 7 (that already includes this current post). https://hn.algolia.com/?query=%22tell%20hn%22&sort=byPopularity&prefix=false&page=0&dateRange=pastYear&type=story https://hn.algolia.com/?query=%22tell%20hn%22&sort=byPopular...
- mtmail 8y agoAnother is "Launch HN" which only YC companies seems to use. Maybe there's post launch marketing checklist with an item to post on HN.
