Hi HN,

I’ve built HN-Brief, a self-updating static digest of Hacker News.

It is a static daily digest that fetches the top 20 stories summarizing both the article content and the community discussion (digest) into a cohesive 5-minute read.

How it works:

A Cloudflare Worker runs on a cron schedule, fetches stories via the Algolia API, generates markdown summaries, and commits them directly to GitHub. Cloudflare Pages then serves the static site.

While excellent tools like hndigest.com exist for email subscriptions, HN-Brief is a web-first alternative that is fully open source.

I’d appreciate feedback on the summary quality, reading experience and the UI!
