Ask HN: How do you track replies to your comments and posts on HN?

2 points by matanrubin 5 years ago | 5 comments

AFAIK HN doesn't have any convenient way of being notified when someone replies to a comment or a post you made.

I find myself checking my posts and comments every once in a while to see if anything changed, which feels kinda rediculuos.

Am I missing some hidden HN feature? How do you handle that?

I use https://hnrss.org/ along with a simple tool to send emails when the feed has new items.

(i.e. Comment-replies become emails.)

hnreplies.com [0] is a third party tool which quite a few people on HN [1] seem to use for this purpose.

Edit: I just noticed that this tool is made by dang.

The site says HN Replies was made by Dan Grossman, who is not the HN moderator 'dang'.
