This n8n workflow automates a daily routine designed to aid in language learning and vocabulary expansion. Every day precisely at 8 AM, a Cron trigger initiates the entire process, ensuring a consistent schedule. The workflow then seamlessly connects to the Hacker News API to fetch the top three most popular articles currently featured on its front page. After successfully retrieving these articles, a custom Function node, aptly named "Extract words," takes over. This function is responsible for programmatically processing the titles, summaries, or potentially the full content of the Hacker News articles to identify, parse, and extract specific words. The extracted words can subsequently be utilized for various language learning activities, such as building personalized vocabulary lists, generating flashcards, or conducting further linguistic analysis. This automated setup provides a fresh, relevant, and engaging stream of learning material daily, eliminating the need for manual content curation and fostering consistent, efficient language study.
