ReplyTrack — Never miss a Hacker News reply again

The Problem

Hacker News has no native notification system for replies to your posts or comments. Active users are forced to manually refresh tabs, bookmark their own content, or use incomplete third-party tools that only cover comments. Missing replies means losing conversations, context, and the satisfaction of being part of the discussion.

What We're Building

ReplyTrack monitors your HN profile for new replies to both posts and comments, sending real-time email alerts or daily digests. A simple dashboard lets you manage notification preferences and view all replies in one unified inbox. We handle the scraping and parsing automatically—you just log in with your HN username and never miss a conversation again.

Who It's For

Active Hacker News users and submitters (engineers, founders, tech professionals) who post 2+ times per week and care about engagement. Works for individual users; no team/enterprise angle needed.

Key Features (Planned)

• Unified inbox for all post and comment replies
• Real-time email alerts or daily digest (your choice)
• One-click setup with HN username auth
• Manage notification frequency and keywords

We're validating this idea before writing a single line of code. If this resonates with you, we'd love your feedback:

How many times per week do you check back on your HN posts or comments to see if anyone replied? Would you pay a few bucks a year to automate that?
