Ask HN: What are the features you want in Hacker News?
I'm planning to build a subscription service for Hacker News notification. And I wanted to know besides notification service what else I can build in top of Hacker News API.
Suggestions welcome.
- caymanjim 7y agoWhile you're welcome to add whatever features you want to an external tool, for me the biggest appeal to Hacker News is that it has almost no features. I come here because it's simple, clean, and distraction-free. I don't want any new features. I suspect much of the HN audience is here for the same reason.
- rajasimon 7y agoYes I also don’t want any feature inside hacker news but i check hacker news few times a day and some days I don’t. What I planning now is some kinda trigger like google alerts. It should be so simple and can able to send notifications to my mobile or twitter dm or anywhere. I want to track some one mentioned my name on hacker news or wanted to track Website mentioned and the list goes on. I know similar service already available hacker news watcher and ifttt... So I wanted to make something different this time but not sure what that is ha ha. I will do some research if I get free time. Thanks for your support
