Hacker News Reader

Currently working on HN Alerts — a simple free site I made to alert me (via email) to trending stories on Hacker News.

It sends me an email once a story hits a certain number of upvotes per minute, so it's useful for keeping track of breaking news.

Thanks. Been a happy user for a few years!

I have a similar domain - https://hackernewsalerts.com - but it's for tracking replies to comments and posts you've made. It's on maintenance mode at the moment, couldn't gather as much interest as I'd hoped. Have open sourced it.

Is there any difference to the existing one that made you built another one?

Yep, it notifies you when you get comments on your HN posts. The existing one only tracks replies to comments.

In case you continue to work on it, an RSS feed of comments would be interesting...

Hmm, why wouldn't you just use https://hnrss.github.io/ ?
