Ask HN: Why doesn't HN notify you of unread comments/messages?
Why doesn't it notify you of unread comments? Like this little red mail thing of Reddit - http://awesomescreenshot.com/0d13a2n911.
Surely it would make conversation much easier. But just as surely, PG and the admins must be aware of this idea, and have decided not to use it. So what's the reason why?
- sp332 12y agoI use HN Notify which emails me when someone responds to a comment or submission of mine. http://hnnotify.com/ http://hnnotify.com/
- adamzerner 12y agoI do too, but I'd still like to know why HN doesn't support this functionality directly.
- sdrothrock 12y agoHN Notify doesn't seem to work consistently for me; I check /threads relatively often and find comments that HN Notify did not notify me of at all.
