Finds the most recent monthly "Ask HN: Who is hiring?" thread on
Hacker News and turns every top-level comment
into a structured job item — using the official public Algolia HN API
(hn.algolia.com/api/v1), no key needed.
Job posts on HN follow a loose Company | Role | Location | ... header
convention; this scraper parses that header plus the body text to extract:
company name, role(s), location, remote / onsite / hybrid flags, salary or
compensation range when stated, contact emails and application links, the HN
comment URL, poster username, posted date (ISO) and the full raw text (capped).
Heuristic fields are omitted when not confidently found — the raw text is
always included so nothing is lost.
You can also point it at a specific month's thread by HN story ID.
