Hacker News Menu Bar App for Raycast – View Stories over N Points

I wanted a way to get notified about high-engagement stories on HN (e.g., 500+ points), so I built this Raycast menubar extension. It uses the HN API to filter and display top stories right from your menu bar. It was quick to build - just half a day. Code: https://github.com/KevinBatdorf/hacker-news-top-stories-rayc...
