Learning something new? Endlessly searching to find the best resources? This workflow finds top community-recommended learning resources on any topic from Hacker News, delivered to your inbox.

How it works

  • User submits a topic they want to learn via a simple form.
  • The workflow searches for relevant "Ask HN" posts on Hacker News and extracts top-level comments.
  • An LLM analyzes the comments and identifies the best learning resources.
  • A personalized email is sent to the user with a Markdown formatted list of top recommendations, categorized by resource type (e.g., book, course, article) and difficulty level.

Set up steps

  • Add your Google Gemini API credentials. You'll need to create a project and enable the Generative Language API.
  • Add your SMTP credentials for sending emails.
  • Customize the Form and email subject (optional)
  • Activate the workflow
