What It Does

Details

HNswered is a Chrome side panel extension that monitors public Hacker News stories and comments you have authored. It detects replies, even when the original comment is deep in a thread, and displays them in a clean inbox with unread/read filters. The application maintains its state locally within Chrome storage without requiring any server interaction or login credentials.

Why It Matters

Why this one made the cut

HNswered allows for efficient monitoring of comments on Hacker News, ensuring you don't miss replies to your posts and comments. This is particularly useful for those who engage frequently in discussions but may not check the site as often.

Differentiator

What makes it different

Unlike other solutions that rely on server-side tracking or require logging into a separate service, HNswered works entirely within Chrome, making it simple, secure, and privacy-friendly.
