I think the way reddit does it is great. A red number in the header if you have replies and then an unread page where you can see them and click for context.

- jchendy 11y agoYeah, it would be awesome if HN implemented the reddit inbox.
- sotojuan 11y agoThat's funny. The reason I comment here more than Reddit is because I get no notifications. On Reddit I click `disable Inbox replies` as much as possible, but sometimes forget. I like being able to look at my comments when I want to reply.
- philh 11y agoIf you don't mind losing private messages (I get ~0 of those), presumably you could add the reddit mail icon to your adblocker or something? For me though, notifications are much more important on reddit than here. Here I can see replies directly on my user page (and replies to them, which I also like to follow), there I'd have to click through to each of my recent comments to check.
- mistermann 11y agoAnd collapsible comments, and I'd really like the ability to hide my username from the prying eyes of coworkers as RES allows on reddit.
