How It Works

1. A cron job runs every minute to fetch top stories from Hacker News
2. New stories with 30+ points trigger push notifications
3. Each visitor gets a unique password stored in a cookie
4. Subscriptions are stored in Redis using the cookie password as an identifier
5. Subscribers receive notifications with the story title and author
6. Clicking a notification opens the story on Hacker News
