Hacker News · Google Sheets

Collect new Hacker News stories in Google Sheets

Choose a local Hacker News connection name and a Google Sheets spreadsheet and worksheet. Columns A through D receive the item ID, title, author and discussion URL. The first poll records the current new-story feed without importing its backlog. Later polls pick up newly listed IDs. Posting bursts can exceed the finite feed window; this is a monitoring workflow, not a historical archive.
