What the AI does on Hacker News

Hacker News is unforgiving about tone and merciless about titles — the wrong framing dies on /newest. The engine knows the conventions: it writes titles in the platform's plain, claim-first style (no clickbait, no marketing adjectives) and tags submissions correctly as Tell HN, Ask HN, or Show HN based on intent.

The body is text-only by design — HN doesn't do media — so the language layer carries everything: a direct, technical register that reads like a builder, not a brand. For a developer-tools or technical company, this is the network where authenticity is the entire game, and it's exactly what the brand language layer is built to protect.

Buffer, Hootsuite, Sprout Social, and Later do not publish to Hacker News. PulseCraft does. (Compared against their public channel lists, 2026-06.)

Submissions schedule like any other content type, and you approve each one — HN is the last place you want an autopilot misfire.

Workflow
