Hacker News Insights Mod

Create dashboards and reports for Hacker News stories, jobs, and other items using Steampipe.

Overview

Dashboards can help answer questions like:

• What companies, languages, and clouds were recently mentioned in stories?
• What roles and technologies were recently mentioned in jobs?
• What are the most popular domains among submitted stories?
• What are the latest Ask and Show HNs?
