# HackerDesignerNews

This is an aggregator for LayerVault's [Designer News](https://news.layervault.com/stories) and Y Combinator's [Hacker News](https://news.ycombinator.com).

The `cron.js` script handles fetching data from HN and DN, normalizing and storing it in MongoDB.

The `server.js` script runs an express server serving the following endpoints:

- **/top** - Loads all current top posts
- **/top/hn** - Loads all current top Hacker News posts
- **/top/dn** - Loads all current top Designer News posts
