That's plenty enough to capture the 80/20 of my use case
- dataviz1000 6mo agoI don't understand what you mean. Should I update the instructions so something is more clear? Also what is the other 20%?
- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 6mo ago> Should I update the instructions so something is more clear? I believe they are referring to the "threads" link in the header of HN pages for an authenticated request. Can't say what the 20% is, of course. As for the 80%, it's a pull instead of a push but that page shows logged-in users their recent comments and the reply threads for them.
- caminanteblanco 6mo agoSorry for any ambiguity, I meant the HackerNews header link, and for me the 20 is that I'm not sure if that link shows replies to submissions I make. Your project looks awesome, and like a great solution for people looking for push notifications.
- dataviz1000 6mo agoYes, the badge on the icon was counting the replies to my comments and posts as it was important them. What is the other 20%?
- caminanteblanco 6mo agoI don't mean the 80/20 of your project, I mean of my use case. It looks like HNswered would be able to handle pretty close to all 100% of my use case. But the nature of the 80/20 analogy is that oftentimes the 80 is good enough for most
- mandeepj 6mo agoThe “Threads” link came much later; “Comments” link on your profile is there from a long time ago, or maybe since beginning. Now it’s a redirect to “Threads”.
- sillysaurusx 6mo agoAnd not to be confused with the “comments” link in the header that takes you to a page of newest comments site-wide: https://news.ycombinator.com/newcomments https://news.ycombinator.com/newcomments I’m amazed it still works. Imagine having a page showing every single new Reddit comment site-wide.
- dfxm12 6mo agoMe too. I wonder what the other other 20% consists of. I think a huge part of it would aid continuing arguments that long outlive the productive discussion around the article.
