HN Follow runs on Val Town [2], an online scripting tool my team and I are building. Part of why we built hnfollow.com is to show off the kind of things you can do with the primitives Val Town provides:emailing yourself (`console.email`), persistent state (`@me.foo = "bar"`), persistent cron jobs (`setInterval`), etc. Here’s a demo[3], the docs[4], and ...
