Hacker News Reader

Comment by mdoliwa | Hacker News Reader

I build it for myself, as I like to read comments sections a lot, and sometimes I have interesting article and would like to read what people think about it. So now I add it to refjar and it fetches discussions from reddit and HN.

My public bookmarks list: https://refjar.com/u/mdoliwa/j/bookmarks

I'd be very thankful for any feedback about tool/idea.

View on HN

This is very cool, and thanks for sharing!

One question -- how often does your tool re-scan for new discussions, or does it not re-scan?

I see on your public bookmarks, it shows current discussions, it would be cool to see which ones are new since the last time you looked. A further suggestion would be to include a date & star icon on new discussions. Just a thought -- thanks again for sharing!

Now it rescans only number of comments. It starts with n = 15 minutes and schedules next scan in n*2 if there were no new comments or n/2 if there were any.

Fetching new discussions after initial scan is in my todo list.

Once you sign up, there is no bookmarklet link to save links. You have to log out to be able to access it.

Thanks for info, I'll fix this.

No discussions on this topic huh?

Hmm, when I come back from work I'll recheck reddit manually to find any new discussions.

One more q, if I start using it, I would like to know it will stay and I will not lose my links.

Yes, my wife is using it to bookmark her cooking recipies, so it has to stay :).

You'll be able to export all your bookmarks to other systems, it's on my todo list. I want it to be a long term project.

OK, thank you. Hail wife :).
