- pvg 5y agothat thing steals your session cookie without much asking or explaining
- consumer451 5y agoOoof, sorry for posting it then. Would delete or edit if I could.
- pvg 5y agoI don't there's anything deliberately evil about it, it just happens to be effectively credentials harvesting - your auth cookie ends up on someone else's server. If they get compromised, all those HN accounts get compromised. Some people might be ok with that risk, if aware of it.
- tptacek 5y agoI believe Dan Gackle is the only public HN moderator, and that this isn't really endorsed.
- jb1991 5y agoand I believe that Dan created the site in question, which is sorta an endorsement of sorts: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27555072 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27555072
- tptacek 5y agoDifferent Dan.
- OJFord 5y agoAnd Scott 'sctb' Bell. Don't think he comments as much though (at least, that I notice/in threads I read). (Oh or actually.. not active since 2019? Maybe you're right.)
- Tomte 5y agoScott left some time ago.
- kevincox 5y agoI use hnreplies and quite like it. Another option is https://hnrss.github.io/#reply-feeds https://hnrss.github.io/#reply-feeds which gives you a feed of replies to a user (quite possibly yourself). The RSS option is of course more flexible because you can do whatever you want with the feed but I just read my RSS via email anyways so I just use hnreplies. IIUC it is also faster because it is polling for everyone quite frequently whereas individually polling the RSS feed I would probably do it at a lower interval.
- samanator 5y agoThank you for posting this. Signed up!
- ashtuchkin 5y agoAmazing how simple it is! Kudos to the author, subscribed.
- dang 5y agoIt was built by a different Dan G. but I'm happy to somewhat endorse it.
