For 2019, my focus is on making my life more efficient, and a big part of that involves reforming my computing habits. Among my worse habits is constantly checking Hacker News, since after all, this is the pulse of the industry.<p>Like most of you, I don&#x27;t want to miss a single top story, and I don&#x27;t want to check to Hacker News constantly. My solution was to build a jobs queue and program it to check Hacker News for me. Then, every morning and night, it would email me a list of the top stories.<p>The emails are designed to feel very familiar to the Hacker News experience. With the added the metadata page descriptions, it feels a lot like a newsfeed. I&#x27;m considering replacing these descriptions with ML summaries, and adding adding a preview image to it. What do you think?<p>Anyways, I&#x27;ve been really enjoying it and I hope you might too. Try it out and let me know what you think!
