Ask HN: Is there a Hacker News endpoint for the “Tell HN” posts?

1 point·busymom0··4 comments

If you google "site:news.ycombinator.com tell hn", you can see that there are a lot of posts which have the "Tell HN" prefix. Is there an actual end point for this similar to the "Ask HN"?

I looked at the "lists" at the bottom of the page but it doesn't list it.

View on HN

You can build a simple webpage for yourself using the APIs

Here is the start point -

https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com/v0/showstories.json?print...

More - https://github.com/HackerNews/API

This could be a plain html page, which you can bookmark and check daily.

Sorry, I think you misunderstood my question. I am asking whether there is a particular page which already exists which shows all the "Tell HN:" posts. Similar to how http://news.ycombinator.com/ask

shows the posts for "Ask HN:" and http://news.ycombinator.com/show shows the posts for "Show HN:".

So is there something like http://news.ycombinator.com/tell

It was never a category. In the last 12 months there were 125 such posts, so 1 every 3 days. Some 'merry christmas' and 'this site is down'. In the last month it was 7 (that already includes this current post).

Another is "Launch HN" which only YC companies seems to use. Maybe there's post launch marketing checklist with an item to post on HN.
