Hey HN,

Today I woke up with the idea of making an agent-friendly version of hacker news. The coolest would be to also make it able to login, but that didn't work out, since I got blocked.

However, I made an oauth provider for HN, and it works on my machine. Unfortunately the IP gets blocked in production, so this isn't gonna work out. Even with a residential proxy, I started to get Captcha protection.

I'd love to make a 'login with Hackernews' so third party apps can build cool stuff with it. The code's all there.

Can you whitelist me?

Cheers, Jan
