Hacker News workflow

[loris]

Just a pretty simple workflow to play around with Alfred 2.0

Hit the "hn" keyword and get the latest headlines from our favorite website feed.

 

 

Mainly based on the python code from the Youtube and Reddit workflows (kudos @simonbs)

 

Download and Source

When I select a newsitem and hit return, nothing happens. Any ideas why?

Same problem as @phil.

Hey guys,

the download link in the first post was deprecated, I updated it to use directly the file on Github :

This update should fix your select issue.

@loris this is a great workflow.

 

When I select/open one feed item in my browser I have to reopen Afred + scroll again to continue to read the items I haven't already red. Could one make Alfred keep the focus, so I would switch to my browser ( via alt-tab) once I have opened all the items I want to read +/or make Alfred remember the position of the last item I opened so I do not have to scroll again?

 

That would make it a perfect workflow :-)
