# HN Push

Web push notifications for top stories on Hacker News.

## Features

- 🔔 Real-time push notifications for trending stories

- 📱 Progressive Web App (PWA) for easy mobile access

- 🌓 Dark mode support

- ⚡️ Built with [Svelte](https://svelte.dev)

- 🔒 Privacy-focused with no tracking or analytics

## How It Works

1. A cron job runs every minute to fetch top stories from Hacker News

2. New stories with 30+ points trigger push notifications

3. Each visitor gets a unique password stored in a cookie

4. Subscriptions are stored in Redis using the cookie password as an identifier

5. Subscribers receive notifications with the story title and author

6. Clicking a notification opens the story on Hacker News
