we don't even have an inbox to see comment replies, why would they implement this

  https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=Scaevolus https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=Scaevolus is pretty much exactly that. It doesn't highlight new responses but no one replies after more than a couple of days so it's not really necessary.

    That's a self-fulfilling prophecy. Nobody replies after a few days because there is no inbox for replies (and proportionally very few people use hnreplies[1]). Anyway not having notifications is by design. It gives the opportunity to other commenters to reply, and it reduces heated discussions. [1] https://hnreplies.com https://hnreplies.com
