Turns Hacker News into a physical newspaper using Claude and CUPS.
Strengths

Weaknesses
- •Requires paid Anthropic API key or Claude Pro subscription to run.
- •Physical printing is niche; most users prefer digital RSS readers anyway.

I analyzed 157K HN posts and built skills with guardrails against BS
Three practical Claude skills — /hn-score, /hn-spin, and /hn-optimize — bundle headline angles, timing advice, and an 87-point scorecard driven by a 157K-post dataset and a reverse-engineered HN ranking formula. The repo's real cleverness is the HN-specific heuristics (penalty multipliers, flamewar detection, domain performance stats) turned into actionable prompts, not merely another headline generator. It's an MVP that rewards anyone who actually runs Claude and wants data-backed posting playbooks, though it needs more launch-day case studies to prove the claims.
