# hncheck [![Build Status](https://github.com/brandur/hncheck/workflows/hncheck%20CI/badge.svg)](https://github.com/brandur/hncheck/actions)

A very simple app that checks HN's `/newest` page to see if
something under one of your domains has been submitted, and
emails you if it has.

## Setup

You'll need some SMTP credentials for the app to be able to
send you email. I recommend getting a [free account over at
Mailgun][mailgun] (note this will have to be activated and
you'll have to add yourself as an authorized recipient).

``` sh
cp .env.sample .env
# edit .env

go install
forego start hncheck
```

By default, `EMAIL_MODE` is `smtp` and `RECIPIENT`, `SMTP_LOGIN`,
`SMTP_PASSWORD`, `SMTP_PORT`, and `SMTP_SERVER` are required. Set
`EMAIL_MODE=log` to run without email configuration and print a line when an
email would've been sent.

By default, hncheck runs once and exits. Set `LOOP=true` to keep checking
continuously.

## Tests

Run the test suite:

``` sh
go test
```
