Keeping up with tech shouldn't feel like a second job
You know Hacker News has great discussions, but who has time to sift through 30 stories to find the 3 that matter?
You open Reddit and 30 minutes disappear. Mostly noise. You close the tab feeling like you wasted time.
A trending GitHub repo blows up, a new AI paper drops, your coworker mentions it at standup — and you had no idea.
You want to be the person who's always in the know, but the time investment just doesn't scale.
We scan everything
Every day, we monitor Hacker News, Reddit, GitHub trending repos, and AI research blogs for the stories generating real discussion.
AI distills the signal
Our pipeline reads the full articles, top comments, and community reactions — then generates a concise briefing with the context that matters.

Built by Seeking Gradient
We built Debug the Hype because we had the same problem you do. There's incredible content on Hacker News, Reddit, and GitHub — but actually sitting down to read through it all? That never happened. Too much noise, not enough time.
So we built a system that reads it for us. Within a week of using it, we were showing up to conversations already knowing what was being discussed. It felt like a cheat code. Now we're sharing it with everyone.
Stop reading. Start listening.
10 minutes a day is all it takes to know what everyone in tech is talking about.
