Off-topic, but news to me: Linux support too! http://notifo.com/desktop#linux http://notifo.com/desktop#linux I thought Notifo were iPhone-only - clearly I should pay them more attention!

  I saw that, but I can't find the link to download notifo_agent.py, unfortunately. However, it might be possible to throw a python script together using their API. https://api.notifo.com/ https://api.notifo.com/ I'm eagerly awaiting the release of Notifo for Android. Any word on when that will be released jazzychad?

    The Linux script is not quite available yet. It's very hacky and python is not my strong suit. That said, we will probably release it soon and let the community help improve it. We have a very alpha Android version in testing with hopes of a public beta before the end of the year. I'm having to retrain my brain in Java after massive Objective-C injections.

      Yeah, how about some linux love :( Notifo is great, though. Do you have any idea why your Twitter notification app requires write access? I'd use it if it weren't for that.

        Believe me, I'd love to release the Linux stuff asap, but we can't quite yet for various reasons... I can't wait to see what kind of cool stuff you guys will come up with. As an example, I added in some logic to take a pic with my webcam and post it to Dailybooth when I get a github commit notification. This was the first one (and I swear it was not staged) http://dailybooth.com/jazzychad/6742332 http://dailybooth.com/jazzychad/6742332 The twitter app needs write access b/c it gives the option of "upgrading" your account to follow 30 people (intead of 3), and the "price" is a tweet. Other than that, we never auto-tweet on your behalf.

        That pic is awesome.

      Release early, release often. Just don't forget to set up a repository (maybe a PPA you're targeting Debian/Ubuntu first), so when script will become more robust users will get it automatically updated without any additional worries - otherwise they'll be stuck with ancient versions.

In case anyone is unaware, you can configure HN to send Notifo notifications when someone replies to a comment of yours.

    Paul, you need to redesign the website. It looks bloody awful for something as simple and elegant as your service.
- StavrosK 16y ago
  Do not do this, I did it and keep coming back to HN every ten minutes.

    You are describing my work flow already and I didn't even need to install this. I only needed to check HN enough times when I hit compile that it is now some sort of a muscle-memory reflex.

So the GNU/Linux version isn't open source right?
