Automate Learning Resource Recommendations from Hacker News
This workflow automates the process of finding top community-recommended learning resources on any topic from Hacker News and delivers them directly to your inbox.
The workflow begins with a user submitting a topic they want to learn about via a form. It then searches for relevant 'Ask HN' posts on Hacker News and extracts top-level comments. Using a language model, it analyzes these comments to identify the best learning resources, categorizing them by type and difficulty. Finally, it sends a personalized email to the user with a Markdown-formatted list of recommendations.
