I just use Google Alerts itself and scope the URL, for example site:https://news.ycombinator.com https://news.ycombinator.com "Apple Watch” or site:https://news

- dylburger 7y agoI didn't realize that worked! Google Alerts is awesome.
- gcatalfamo 7y agodo you get notified reliably? I always found out Google Alerts don't fire as often as they should
- Austin_Conlon 7y agoI do. I have each set to fire “as-it-happens,” but it’ll often be a few hours before it appears in my email.
- codeplea 7y agoHow do you know it's reliable? In my experience, Google Alerts misses a lot of mentions on HN and Reddit. I would challenge you to try an alternative (like https://f5bot.com/ https://f5bot.com/) for a week. You may be surprised at how many more hits it gets over Google Alerts.
