Hackernews-Notion-Bridge
Read Hackernews in your favourite all-in-one workspace.
Why?
Well, many dislike the default HackerNews webinterface. Which is why everyone and their dog build their own HN client. I also really enjoy creatively misusing tools for things they definitely weren't designed for.
So, whats a better way to jump the HN-client bandwagon, than by integrating one of my biggest time-sinks in my favourite productivity app?
