Send Developer Digest To Telegram

Hacker News And Reddit Daily Digest

What It Does

This workflow curates the top 5 developer community posts from Hacker News and Reddit every morning and delivers them as a structured Telegram message with summaries and category tags. Each story is tagged as one of: Hot take, Tool, Research, Tutorial, Industry news, or Career so you can decide in seconds what is worth reading today.

Why It Matters

Software engineers are drowning in signal. Hacker News, r/programming, r/MachineLearning, and r/devops host excellent discussions happening daily that directly affect how you write code, pick tools, and advance your career. But opening those sites is a trap where you go in for the top post and emerge 45 minutes later. This workflow extracts the five most upvoted posts, summarizes each in one sentence, and delivers them to Telegram before your first stand-up. You stay current without losing the morning.

How It Works

What You Get

1. Top 3 Hacker News posts with source, category tag, and one-sentence summary.
2. Top 2 Reddit picks from developer subreddits with community, category tag, and summary.
3. Category tags so you immediately know whether a story is a new tool, research paper, hot take, tutorial, industry news, or career insight.
4. Delivery every morning before the workday starts.

Who It Is For

1. Software engineers who want to stay current on community discussions without doomscrolling.
2. Engineering managers who want a quick pulse on what the developer community is debating.
3. Tech leads and architects who need to spot emerging tools and architectural shifts early.
4. Anyone who tells themselves they will catch up on Hacker News on the weekend but never does.

Setup

1. Connect your Telegram bot and authorize the connector.
2. Submit the workflow to your catalog.
3. Receive your developer community digest on Telegram every morning.

Customize It

1. Add additional subreddits to the prompt, such as r/golang, r/rust, or r/experienceddevs.
2. Change the number of Hacker News stories from 3 to 5 for a broader morning read.
3. Adjust the delivery time to after your stand-up if you prefer a mid-morning digest.

Timezone Note

The trigger fires at 7:00 AM UTC daily. This translates to 12:30 PM IST, 2:00 AM EST, or 8:00 AM CET. Adjust to 13:00 UTC for US East Coast morning delivery.
