Currently working on HN Alerts — a simple free site I made to alert me (via email) to trending stories on Hacker News.
It sends me an email once a story hits a certain number of upvotes per minute, so it's useful for keeping track of breaking news.

- nandomrumber 1y agoIf you’re not aware, compare https://www.hnreplies.com/ https://www.hnreplies.com/
- davidbarker 1y agoThanks. Been a happy user for a few years!
- mmarian 1y agoI have a similar domain - https://hackernewsalerts.com https://hackernewsalerts.com - but it's for tracking replies to comments and posts you've made. It's on maintenance mode at the moment, couldn't gather as much interest as I'd hoped. Have open sourced it.

- mmarian 1y agoYep, it notifies you when you get comments on your HN posts. The existing one only tracks replies to comments.
- hwj 1y agoIn case you continue to work on it, an RSS feed of comments would be interesting...
- mmarian 1y agoHmm, why wouldn't you just use https://hnrss.github.io/ https://hnrss.github.io/ ?
