Speaking as a Telegram user: Bots on Telegram can send and receive messages to you or a group. My most used bot is one who watches HN for breaking stories and send me a link to the story and the comments. Net result: Spend less time checking HN, confident that I'll see 100+ story even if they die before I take lunch or have to wait for something anyway. BTW: 100 is just an example threshold, you can send a message to the bot to set that to something else.
