Thinking of the following weekend project,
which would allow users to get notified over email whenever a HN post in their favorites,
gets new comments or updates.
Could be your post or someone else.
It could work as follows:
- Go to HN and find a post you like, visit the post page like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1
- Add it to your favorites list by clicking [favorite] right at the top
The following signup needs to be done only once:
- visit https://todo-hn-notifier.com
- sign in with email
- provide your HN username
Whenever a new comment appears in one of the favorite posts, an email is being sent.
(With an easy unsubscribe link)
WDYT?
Would you find such a web service useful?
Any extra features would be cool to add?
