how do people get a "hey HN" welcome line up on their site so quickly? This was posted here less than 2 hours ago. Do people really monitor incoming referrals

  I mean...yes? Back when I had a dedicated office, there was a screen that was tail -f on various logfiles watching website traffic. My sites were all personal projects, so the traffic was low enough that I could notice an uptick in traffic visually. Also things like google analytics etc.

  I think most folks do it automatically, e.g. Hey { referer }, ... I was surprised the text was still there in incognito mode.

  There must be an app to notify you of HN/Reddit/Tweets that mention your domain?
