03 / KNOW WHAT YOU’RE READING
A signal, with its source attached.
We discover recent Launch HN posts through HN Search by Algolia, then check every displayed title, batch and timestamp against the official Hacker News API. Each card links to that announcement. Dates are HN posting dates, not company founding dates.
This covers up to the latest 80 matching Launch HN announcements found in a 200-result search, not the entire YC directory or every YC launch. Show HN posts are excluded. Sector labels are title-based topic matches, not YC’s official categories. Source failures and cached results are labeled.
