The last 24 hours of high-signal developer news from Hacker News, ranked by enga
The last 24 hours of high-signal developer news from Hacker News, ranked by engagement and classified across eleven topics: AI, devtools, data, infra, security, web, hardware, policy, business, science and culture. Every row carries a developer_relevant flag, so you can keep the engineering stories and drop the front page's politics and obituaries, about half of a typical day. Add ?since=<ISO-8601> for only what is new; an empty delta is free, and so is a since older than the window.
Paid test badge: not yet. The checks above are free: we call the tool without paying and read the payment request it sends back. The Verified badge needs paid calls whose answers match the promised output, and nobody can buy a badge.
