# Why I created this plugin?
33-
I love reading technical articles and stay updated with the latest happenings in the tech world, and I find [HackerNews](https://news.ycombinator.com/) ideal for this. I have read some of the best articles and found amazing open source libraries through it and hence have a knack for keeping a close eye on it.

On Mac, I used to install [YCombinator Plugin](https://github.com/martinsirbe/ycombinator-bitbar) on [BitBar](https://xbarapp.com/), and it used to show top stories from [HackerNews](https://news.ycombinator.com/) in the top menu bar without me needing to visit the website. I was addicted to discovering, reading, and exploring top content through this plugin.

On Mac, I used [YCombinator Plugin](https://github.com/martinsirbe/ycombinator-bitbar) on [BitBar](https://xbarapp.com/), which is very similar and shows one top story from [HackerNews](https://news.ycombinator.com/) in the top menu bar. If the title is enticing enough, I can always learn more about it by clicking the item. This is a great way for me to discover the best resources out there.

Recently, I switched to a Windows machine and found it not having a similar utility; plus, writing a widget for Windows was a mess. When I discovered Obsidian, I found myself using it quite frequently. So I thought of creating a plugin similar to the [YCombinator Plugin](https://github.com/martinsirbe/ycombinator-bitbar) to fetch random top story from HackerNews and show it to me in the side pane.

I have been running a niche [Cohort-based Course](https://arpitbhayani.me/masterclass) on System Design to help engineering become better at designing _scalable_, _fault-tolerant_, and _highly available_ systems.
