Hacker News

Hacker News is a link-sharing and discussion community run by Y Combinator, focused on technology, startups, and programming. Stories rise or fall based on upvotes and comment activity within the first few hours of submission, and the community is famously strict about self-promotion, vote manipulation, and anything that looks automated. This tag gathers articles examining what Hacker News's API actually supports, why automated submission isn't realistic, and how makers and developers can responsibly share their own content there.
