How It Works
This powerful workflow operates on a set schedule, beginning with crawling the Hacker News homepage for the latest trending articles. It intelligently filters these to identify relevant GitHub project links. To prevent redundancy, it cross-references new discoveries against a dedicated Airtable database of previously posted content. For each fresh GitHub project, the workflow visits the repository page, converts its HTML content into a digestible Markdown format, and then feeds this information to an AI (OpenAI via LangChain). The AI, acting as a specialized social media assistant, crafts unique, platform-optimized posts for both X (Twitter) and LinkedIn, adhering to strict guidelines on tone, length, and content. After internal validation, the workflow logs these new posts in Airtable and sends a notification to you via Telegram, offering a brief window for review. Following a short wait period, the compelling social media updates are automatically published to X and LinkedIn, and their publication status is updated in Airtable.
