I tried delay once. I think it renders your comments to you alone until $delay minutes elapse. Probably helps avoid flamewars and other procrastination because you won't be getting quick replies. Edit: Notifo is a push notifications service from a YC company. I'm guessing you paste in an API key and then get pings when your comments receive replies.

> I think it renders your comments to you alone until $delay minutes elapse. Yes, that's correct. I think the main purpose of 'delay' is to allow you to edit your comments before the rest of HN sees it. A lot of us read through our comments and edit them after we submit (to cut out snark, clarify a point, make it more concise). > Notifo is new to me. Maybe a public email address? Notifo is a YC company: http://notifo.com/ http://notifo.com/. They used to email you when people replied to your post on HN: http://notifo.com/hackernews http://notifo.com/hackernews. I'm not really sure if it's still working anymore, since they said they were shutting down a while back: http://blog.notifo.com/notifo http://blog.notifo.com/notifo.
