Ask HN: How do you track replies to your comments and posts on HN?

AFAIK HN doesn't have any convenient way of being notified when someone replies to a comment or a post you made.

I find myself checking my posts and comments every once in a while to see if anything changed, which feels kinda rediculuos.

Am I missing some hidden HN feature? How do you handle that?

hnreplies.com [0] is a third party tool which quite a few people on HN [1] seem to use for this purpose.

Edit: I just noticed that this tool is made by dang.

The site says HN Replies was made by Dan Grossman, who is not the HN moderator 'dang'.

My bad. Thanks for pointing this out!

Awesome, this looks like exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

I use https://hnrss.org/ along with a simple tool to send emails when the feed has new items.

(i.e. Comment-replies become emails.)
