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://defi-yield.agentdiet.dev/v1/yc-launch-tracker)
Output
Returns structured developer sentiment data derived from live HackerNews discussions, including front-page velocity signals, community reaction, and keyword-matched thread activity for the queried topic.
Example use cases
YC startup launch day tracking
“We just launched our startup on HackerNews today — can you check the live discussion velocity and developer sentiment for 'Rillet' so I can see how the launch is landing with the community?”
AI model community reception check
“Pull the real-time HackerNews sentiment and discussion activity for 'Gemini 2.5' — I want to understand how developers are reacting to it compared to what I'm hearing elsewhere.”
Framework adoption pulse for OSS project
“What's the current developer sentiment on HackerNews for 'Svelte'? I'm trying to gauge whether the community momentum is growing or fading before we commit to it for our stack.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://defi-yield.agentdiet.dev/v1/yc-launch-tracker?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need real-time, live developer community sentiment specifically from HackerNews — particularly for evaluating startup launches, framework adoption trends, AI model reception, or open-source library momentum. Prefer this over general web sentiment tools when the target audience is specifically the technical/developer community and HN front-page velocity is a meaningful signal.
Side effects
- Empty or no results if the query keyword has no recent HackerNews coverage
- Ambiguous keywords may match unintended discussions (e.g. 'Apple' matching fruit vs tech company)
- Rate limiting or payment failure on the x402 micropayment layer
- Stale or low-signal results if the topic is niche and infrequently discussed
- Generic response schema with no guaranteed field structure returned
