Ask HN: Are you missing daily email alerts from HN?

9•unknownhad•1d ago

I have been an HN reader for over 10 years. For the past 3 days I have not been receiving any HN emails in my inbox. IIRC this is only the second time this has happened since I started reading HN posts. I prefer emails over jumping to the website. I am wondering if this is just happening to me or if others are experiencing the same issue as well.

HN doesn't offer daily email alerts. Other people offer that, but it is not a feature directly from HN. You probably should ask whatever other service you are using.

All the Emails were from `hello @ hndigest.com` W00ps, My understanding was this is from HN.

There is no official alert from HN. People have built their own. You can try this one that has been running for a while:

I've been subscribed to HackerNewsLetter [1] for a few years. As others have said, though, HN doesn't have an official email alerts feature.

You might be talking about this daily newsletter? https://buttondown.com/tech-daily

This is run by the same person who runs https://hackernewsletter.com/, but just checked my email and got today’s issue and the last one was on 2nd of Jan (sent only on week days).

Shameless plugin: I also run a hacker news curated links newsletter, focused on AI threads. If interested, here is the latest issue: https://eomail4.com/web-version?p=df548fb0-e8b0-11f0-97f9-35...
