Daily Hacker News Tech Vocabulary to SMS or Airtable
Automates fetching top Hacker News articles daily, extracting unique tech words from titles, and sending vocabulary via SMS (Vonage) or storing in Airtable for learning.
This n8n workflow triggers every day at 8 AM to fetch the top 3 front-page articles from Hacker News. It then processes the article titles by splitting them into words, removing numbers and duplicates to create a list of unique tech-related vocabulary terms. These words are prepared for translation using LingvaNex API (free tier up to 200k characters) to support language learning.
Next, the workflow integrates with Airtable to store the vocabulary data for easy access and tracking, or alternatively sends daily notifications via Vonage SMS directly to your phone. This setup requires accounts for n8n, LingvaNex, Airtable, and Vonage, all with free options available.
Benefits include effortless daily exposure to emerging tech jargon, improving professional vocabulary without manual effort. Ideal for developers, marketers, or teams in tech wanting automated learning. Use cases: personal skill-building, content collaboration in marketing, or onboarding new hires with relevant terms from real-time news sources. Saves hours weekly on curation and delivery.
