Read every Monday from the public Hacker News API and a public Reddit archive of 20 subreddits where founders and small businesses ask for tools, covering the last 90 days. A thread is listed when its author asked for a product, a tool, a service or an alternative, and either nobody replied or no reply named a product, as read on the day we found it. What they wanted is our short summary of the thread. The free check reads Reddit, Hacker News and forums for everyone else asking. See this year’s Hacker News asks, answered or not.
