I’ve had it on my todo list to share a project on HN for far too long, so posting this quick project I made this morning.

The tool looks for a string in the post titles and comments and sends a telegram message with a link to the match.

I can imagine a few use cases, but for me it’s interesting to see when $employer is mentioned in the comments. It could also be interesting for $potential_employer mentions.

I’m sure there are better or easier ways to do this, and do feel empowered to comment with a bash one-liner that uses 1/1,000,000th the resources :)
