Ask HN: has anyone built an HN to Twitter auto poster?
Seems like it should be pretty easy with the official HN API and twitter API, so I was wondering if anyone had done it.

You should be able to accomplish this with IFTTT using Hacker New's RSS feed. I found this recipe https://ifttt.com/recipes/5562 which would tweet all HN posts, but you can create your own recipe that will only trigger the action if the RSS entry contains keywords you specifiy (i.e. you could set it to trigger only when it detects your username).
There are some bots that tweet when a post reached 20, 50, 100, or 150 upvotes. @newsycXX[X] respectively. So, for 20 upvotes @newsyc20.
Thanks. I am actually looking for something that tweets from my account whenevr I post to hackernews.... to save me the trouble of posting twice.
is there an official API?
