#2Will it also work for submissions? I've noticed lately that the threads page is slow, but clicking on 'submissions' via the profile page is crushingly slow. If I'm away for a day or two it can make it difficult to check up on older threads, or find the link to share at some later date.

#6Why 'notifo', why not simply an email address ?
That's universal instead of a service that only works with the ipbone.

#7I haven't used this service before, but it's a good idea - thank you. Will it also work for submissions?

#8I can't think of any fields to enter on my profile for any site I use that are also brand names.
Since many HN readers produce web content on their own sites (personal and business blogs, content from their startup's site, etc), will adding this feature to HN create a ripple effect on the web? Pretty awesome way to get traction, IMO.

#9why would someone set the delay?
I do it because I find I often edit comments after posting them. Sometimes I have second thoughts and delete comments after saying something unwise.

#10That's a neat feature, but it may conflict with 'noprocrast', in that it will drive you mad if you can see that there are replies but you can't read them :) Why 'notifo', why not simply an email address ? That's universal instead of a service that only works with the ipbone.
