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://workflows.agentdiet.dev/v1/yc-launch-tracker)
Output
Returns aggregated HackerNews data for the queried keyword including live discussion threads, front-page velocity metrics, and a developer sentiment signal indicating whether community reception is positive, negative, or neutral.
Example use cases
YC startup launch reception check
“We just launched on HackerNews — can you pull the live sentiment and front-page velocity for 'Acme AI' so I can see how the developer community is reacting?”
Framework adoption sentiment research
“I'm deciding whether to adopt Svelte for our next project. What are developers currently saying about it on HackerNews, and is the buzz positive or negative?”
Competitor AI model monitoring
“How is the HackerNews developer community currently discussing Mistral AI? Give me a sense of the sentiment and how fast threads are gaining traction.”

Endpoint
GEThttps://workflows.agentdiet.dev/v1/yc-launch-tracker?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, developer-community-specific sentiment from HackerNews rather than broad social media sentiment. It is ideal for tracking YC startup launches, open-source library reception, AI model buzz, and framework adoption trends among technical audiences. Prefer this over Twitter/X or Reddit sentiment tools when the target audience is specifically the HN developer and founder community.
Side effects
- Empty or very niche query returns no HN discussions — low or null results with minimal signal
- HackerNews API rate limits or downtime causing upstream fetch failures
- Overly broad queries (e.g. 'AI') may return noisy, unactionable results
- Query keyword typo or misspelling yields irrelevant threads
- Endpoint returns a generic object schema — malformed or sparse response possible if upstream data is thin
