Email alert about keywords in Hacker News

15 pointsby oriettaxx7 yıl önce14 comments

before I play myself with it, I ask if there is already some way to receive email alerts for the presence of new posts in Hacker news containing keywords. Or maybe an already generic web service that check for content in the search page ..?

HNWatcher [1] is a good one. Also HN Replies [2] for replies to threads you're in.

You could use your preferred RSS client and configure a keyword alert.

Such as Blogtrottr for instance: https://blogtrottr.com/subscriptions/

I've tried to use Google Alerts but it only occasionally works.

Google Alerts is fundamentally broken, I found. Never worked reliably for me.

This is a very good question. I was always thinking how it is possible to see at mosts posts first comments like "OP/author here". Most probably there ara good tools for this which I haven't figured yet.

Anyone kept track of the world’s most prestigious hacking competition DEF CON Capture the Flag in Las Vegas. The winning players has been taking part in DEFCON for years. It is getting harder for new-comers to shine.
