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://github-audit.agentdiet.dev/v1/yc-launch-tracker)
Output
Returns aggregated HackerNews sentiment data for the queried keyword, including discussion thread references, front-page appearance velocity, and a developer sentiment signal (positive/negative/neutral tone) derived from live HN posts and comments.
Example use cases
YC startup launch momentum check
“We just launched our startup 'Supabase' — can you check HackerNews right now for front-page velocity and what developers are saying about us in the discussions?”
Competitor framework sentiment analysis
“I'm writing a report on developer adoption trends — what's the current HackerNews sentiment around 'SvelteKit' compared to the general vibe developers have been expressing lately?”
New AI model reception tracking
“Meta just dropped a new Llama model — can you pull the live HackerNews sentiment and discussion velocity to see how the developer community is reacting to it?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://github-audit.agentdiet.dev/v1/yc-launch-tracker?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time developer community sentiment specifically from HackerNews — the canonical signal for technical founders, open-source maintainers, and AI researchers. Prefer this over general social sentiment tools (Twitter/Reddit APIs) when your audience is developers, YC founders, or the technical startup ecosystem, and you need front-page velocity as a proxy for breakout traction.
Side effects
- Empty or very niche query returns no HackerNews matches — low or zero sentiment signal
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns HTTP 402 requiring USDC micropayment
- Query too broad (e.g. 'software') may return noisy, low-signal results
- HackerNews data latency spikes may result in stale or incomplete sentiment snapshots
- Invalid or missing query parameter returns a 400 validation error
