How this service works
Queries live HackerNews discussions, front-page velocity, and developer sentiment on any framework, startup, or AI model. (Live x402 v2, IETF MPP & MCP endpoint at https://alpha-stream.agentdiet.dev/v1/yc-launch-tracker)
Output
Returns aggregated HackerNews discussion data including live sentiment signals, front-page velocity metrics, and developer opinion indicators for the queried keyword, covering frameworks, startups, libraries, or AI models.
Example use cases
Pre-launch competitor sentiment check
“Before we ship our new framework, can you check what developers on HackerNews are currently saying about our main competitor Temporal.io — is the sentiment positive or negative, and how fast is it moving on the front page?”
AI model reception tracking
“How is the new Mistral 7B model being received on HackerNews right now? I want to know if developers are excited about it or skeptical.”
YC startup buzz analysis
“Can you pull the current HackerNews discussion velocity and developer sentiment around Supabase — I'm trying to gauge how much buzz it has in the dev community today?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://alpha-stream.agentdiet.dev/v1/yc-launch-tracker?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, live developer community sentiment specifically from HackerNews — particularly for evaluating how a framework, AI model, library, or startup is perceived among technical audiences right now. Prefer this over generic social media sentiment tools when the target audience is specifically developers and the HackerNews community, or when front-page velocity and discussion momentum are relevant signals.
Side effects
- Empty or overly generic query keyword returns sparse or irrelevant results
- Very new or obscure topics with no HackerNews activity may return empty sentiment data
- Rate limiting or payment failure (HTTP 402) if USDC micropayment is not processed
- Ambiguous keyword matching multiple technologies may produce mixed or noisy sentiment
- HackerNews API downtime may cause stale or unavailable data
