Ahh nice, really good ideas.
I agree the following notifications are all handy, didn't think about Shown/Ask HN posts, that's a good one. As for keywords, that didn't dawn on me either, another good one.
With all these notification settings I can see that a "digest" style email once or twice a day might be the way to go to avoid Google banning me for outbound mail and annoying subscribers.
- joshmanders 15y agoYep, that's a good idea. I've also thought about even allowing users to subscribe to domains. Want to keep an eye on new TechCrunch articles posted? Subscribe to techcrunch.com and that will also be put into your notifications. Best way to handle all this in my opinion would be user accounts, and I know you probably had the same thing in mind when I started mine. No accounts, just put an email in, and a keyword and let them input as many as they wanted.
- rkalla 15y agoYea exactly right, I didn't want to go down that every-notification path because it would make everything more complicated to use. Also, another user in this thread made me aware of http://notifo.com/ http://notifo.com/ which I think does the every-notify already. I really just wanted to help out HN users specifically, not really a startup I had in mind. So I'll keep the features paired down to services you good folks :)
