This is a simple workflow that grabs HackerNews front-page headlines from today's date across every year since 2007 and uses a little AI magic (Google Gemini) to sort 'em into themes, sends a neat Markdown summary on Telegram.

How it works

  1. Runs daily, grabs Hacker News front page for this day across every year since 2007.
  2. Pulls headlines & dates.
  3. Uses Google Gemini to sort headlines into topics & spot trends.
  4. Sends a Markdown summary to Telegram.

Set up steps

  2. Add your Google Gemini API key.
  3. Add your Telegram bot token and chat ID.
