Hacker News Throwback: Hot Headlines on This Day Every Year
Fetches Hacker News front-page headlines for today's date across years since 2007, uses Google Gemini AI to categorize into themes and spot trends, then sends a Markdown summary to Telegram daily.
This n8n workflow automates a fascinating daily ritual: retrieving top Hacker News headlines from the front page on the current date for every year since 2007. It aggregates these historical snapshots, feeds them into Google Gemini for intelligent analysis—identifying key stories, grouping them into themes like AI advancements, startup launches, or tech controversies, and highlighting how the tech landscape has evolved over time.
The AI generates a polished Markdown report with hyperlinked bull
