http://hnrankings.info/ does a pretty good job about this as well, though its individual post viewing capabilities are limited.

I've frequently wanted an 'evocative' score that would provide a metric for the ratio of up vs. down votes among the comments.

What's more contentious, 'Tabs vs. Spaces', or, 'No Go, Python'.

I made http://www.hnreplies.com/ which will email you when someone replies to one of your comments. It won't help with following specific threads of others' comments however.

Interesting, is there a reason you are sending the data to the client so regularly? Is that being triggered every time something changes?

Also how are you liking SSE? I've played with WS but never SSE.

For the "new comments since your last visit" I use a tampermonkey script. Last time I posted a link to it my post got flagged, but you can find it by going to Greasy Fork and searching "HN Comment Trees"

I made https://github.com/raszpl/hackahackernews for that purpose.
