## 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?

## Current Limitations

- Webbookmarks don't quite work (only show url but no image/description)

- Pages get replaced instead of updated

## Setup

1. [Install Python](https://www.python.org/downloads/) and create a [Notion](https://www.notion.so/) account.

2. Create a Notion integration, Notion database and share the database with the

   integration. All of which is decribed in [this Guide](https://developers.notion.com/docs/getting-started#getting-started)

3. Rename `config-example.json` to `config.json` and enter your integration

   token and database-id. [How to get the database-id](https://developers.notion.com/docs/getting-started#step-2-share-a-database-with-your-integration)

4. Add the following fields(properties) to the database:

   - Position: Number

   - Title: Text

   - Website: URL

   - Hackernews Link: URL

   - Comments: Number

5. Install all dependencies with `python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt`

6. Run the script with `python3 main.py`

You can also see how I deploy this script in `deployment.md`.
