HN Traction Radar
A radar that checks Hacker News every morning for you, spotting whether services similar to the product you're building took off today. It picks the similar services that got the hottest reactions on the front page that day, reads each service page directly, and sends you a ranked briefing — what the service does, why it took off, and even the traction metrics actually listed on the page (user counts, star counts, and more). It filters out stories that score high but have nothing to do with service traction, like general industry news or announcements from big-name corporations. At the very top, you get an AI-designed dashboard infographic capturing today's traction landscape at a glance, and clicking each card takes you straight to that service's page. Leave the category blank and it will scan every product and service that made waves that day.
