Yeah, it is a little cryptic isn't it. I should have been less so with my comment. To get it working: 1. Sign up for an account at http://notifo.com http://notifo.com 2. Download one or more of their client applications here: http://notifo.com/mobile_apps http://notifo.com/mobile_apps and enter your details 3. Enter your notifo username in the box on your HN profile page. I think the reason this facility exists here on HN is because Notifo is a Y Combinator company.

Only just saw your reply as my prior assumption that all it took was an email address was, of course, incorrect :) delicious irony! Thanks for the info, sad to hear the company has gone under.

  For what it's worth, that blog post was from September last year and Notifo notifications are still being sent at present. I assume the dude has put it in caretaker mode as he says in his post.

    I'll investigate later on, hopefully they're still accepting new users. Thanks for the heads up

thanks for the info; was always wondering what exactly that box was for.. unfortunately, given that i have a Windows Phone and they only seem to have completed an iPhone app, this doesn’t cut it for me personally (and i’m assuming for many others on Android as well). also, it seems they’ve closed down, so no hopes for further support coming anytime soon, if ever: http://blog.notifo.com/notifo http://blog.notifo.com/notifo and i get that it was a YC Company and hence it probably made sense to feature them there (as it really could have added value to the site if widely adopted) but, as it’s gone, i really think the optimal solution would be to replace it with something like HN Notify which is platform agnostic (just need an email).

  That is sad news (and I somehow missed this until now). I thought it was a good little service, I have been using it for a personal project too. Indeed, something like HN notify would seem to be the go for me now also.
