Have you found some way to improve it? Happy to pay for a solution.

It’s quite interesting how we are used to our mobile phone keyboards “AI” helping us to type better. Would love to learn more about how that prediction works. I remember my old 2010 HTC phone to be really hard, meanwhile in 2025 it feels like i can type anything without thinking.

Heavy and happy early user of June here.

I’m also a heavy user of Amplitude and I see how June solves many of my common use cases in a more usable way.

Probably for me it doesn’t make a huge difference, and I still do deep analysis at my dwh or amplitude. But for the rest of the org, that is less data oriented, I found that June increases their data driven mindset just by making it easier to understand and use.

That’s what good UX is for.

What do you mean?

Hi! We at Trackingplan.com (YC W22) do this. It's just an snippet you put in your site (you can install it using google tag manager) and automatically documents and monitors all your integrations schema and traffic wise.

It's a different approach than Metaplane, which we are actually evaluating for our dwh and backends monitoring. Trackingplan is more about creating trust on the data collection side of the problem.

Drop me a line, josele (at) trackingplan (dot) com if you want to know more!

This reminds me about one of the topics that has been bothering me along my career as a technical pm: when is the diverge part of the design process is finished? per my experience, many orgs underestimate the benefits of “people thinking” and overestimate the benefits of being able to forecast when the solution will be available. And this, imho, is key when talking about startups vs corps... corps worry about the process because they can afford a subpar (8m) solution.

Ofc i’m being pedantic here and things are always more complex but... I have one question. How do you say in a safe way: We need more time because I FEEL that maybe, there is a 2$ solution for this problem.

We have been hunted on PH :)

Feel free to comment there too.

Thanks!

For the data api we plan to stay free for a while and then charge new users with a low per subscrition fee to indie devs and have a plan for big data consumers.

Offtopic: how much would you have payed for the Hooks app? Just from the top of your mind.

Would love to hear more about Terraflow! Drop me a line at jose at gethooksapp.com :)

wow, thanks, Fixed :)

Wow, thanks! We are currently querying using CKAN for some alerts at Hooks App, but never thought about massively adding open data to our system, as for our mobile app it made no sense. But now it does.

Actually, we want to add what our users/clients want. No region in mind.

As a side note, its quite easy to create alerts about "new item in the data set" but it get worse if you have to understand the use case, as, e.g. sending all the "garbage collection schedule items" its different than sending "garbage collection new items in that street of Geneva". Hopefully the CKAN spec will allow us to let the users to set a query over the data, so we will be able to push them only when the new data matches that query.

Thanks again!

Thanks! Yes, we are :). What use case do you have in mind?

feel free to write me at jose@gethooksapp.com

We have not implemented yet the tool for you to add the data "manually" (we have an endpoint to publish new content to a topic, but that's not what you need). BUT, we can add the data, and the Open Data portals are a great source we have not explore. Do you have any specific data right now in mind? Would love to discuss this use case.

Thanks! You can actually search for the channels to subscribe using our API, and we are working now on standardizing that API so you can know what to expect there. Yes, the point is that once you subscribe you KNOW that we will tell you if something happens and we will give you the needed data to do something with it.

What use cases do you have in mind?

Hi! We have data about the topics that is delivered when it actually relevant, not only when the data is created. We can send you a webhook when, for example, when bitcoin reaches a price, or when a sports game ends. Superfeedr pushes you when an RSS feed has new content (that has a lot of value, we also have that) and over that a super cool real time search engine that can match articles from their RSS base (that's quite huge). We love superfeedr!

It will be free for a while and later a per subscription price is what sounds good for us.

Hi HN!

We are the makers of Hooks App (gethooksapp.com), and for a long time we have been creating content on notifications for hundreds of thousands of users. Now we are opening our data so developers can do whatever they want with the it.

We are really excited to hear what do you can do with the API.

Feel free to ask anything!

Been using it for 2 weeks now at some company blogs and feels quite effective. Our results vary depending on the landing page we put it, but always converts 20%+ more than the email subscription we had before.

About read rates, we are having a 50-60% open rate on the content we are pushing to the users, but we are connecting our newsletter directly to Messenger using revoice, without modifying titles or anything. I guess that if we tailor the messages, we will get the promised 80%.

How do you use the 3d touch? Any example?

Yeah, this app is really real-time, got you to the frontpage on HN!

Funny to find this on the front page on HN, just got notified by Hooks app! Lol

Yeah, we are using APIs and agreements for the content.

We also have an API (private beta for now) for developers to use the content and/or create alerts for our mobile app

So the first product we build with our API is this one, looking forward to find out if it's something useful. What do you think?

Hi. Not right now. We have an rss alert where you can put any rss you want, but I know, that's not enough. We will add a way to that soon, probably creating a custom endpoint per user or even a email gateway.

We are thinking on removing the watch from that image as people may think its "just for watch" (whatever that means). What do you think?

We had tons of scripts like that at our previous startup, most of them for marketing things.

Actually, we are using something standard (we didn't had much time for this, we'll make a custom one soon) http://gethooksapp.com/privacy_policy. You can see it at at apple store when going to download the app. BTW, we are using cloudkit for users log in so we dont know anything personal about you, but yeah, you're right, we have to improve that.

Thanks. I think it is solved now. We found the Presskit link was ok (its a dropbox folder). Anyway, if you need anything, just drop me a line at founders at gethooksapp.com

Great idea. We'll add it soon.

You're right on the alert text updates. We will solve it asap. Also, as you said, we need to make more clear that notification-alert difference.

Thanks!

I hope it is :)
