I'd like to know when there's a new reply to a comment I made in an article, without having to click my username, then comments. So basically a notifications icon/link at the top right.
- frosted-flakes 4y agoThere are many 3rd-party email notification services out there. I use https://hnreplies.com https://hnreplies.com
- jasfi 4y agoI don't want to rely on a 3rd party service, and I think the change would make HN better. I'd also like to be able to follow users that I think are interesting, to be able to see their posts/comments. But that would be a much bigger change, and is closer to a Twitter-style design. I wouldn't want this to be the default view, but it would be really interesting as a link on the top left.
- lawxls 4y agoIf anyone here is a telegram user, here's a Hacker News alerts bot I'm developing for such kind of notifications: https://github.com/lawxls/HackerNews-Alerts-Bot https://github.com/lawxls/HackerNews-Alerts-Bot (reply alerts is still in To Do stage)
- PenguinCoder 4y agoThrowing in my vote as a DO NOT WANT. No notifications. Don't add them please.
- akvadrako 4y agoI think this is a bad idea as it would encourage long, more conversational threads. HN just isn't the platform for that.
