Hacker News

Tech community news aggregator with full-text search powered by Algolia, covering startup launches, programming discussions, and technology trends. Best for monitoring developer sentiment, finding community discussions about specific technologies, and surfacing trending technical topics. Unlike general news search (Brave, Serper), Hacker News is curated by the tech community — results reflect developer interest and technical depth. 2 endpoints available through Lava’s AI Gateway.

This provider is managed — no additional setup required.
