Looks really neat and professional. Any chance to get notified about HN comments/karma changes?

Hey gingerlime, unfortunately hn doesn't offer notifications itself, so that would be difficult to implement, and outside the scope of Chime. I'm definitely feeling your pain right now, though =P

Color me impressed gentlemen. A useful idea with great execution.

Now how about:

1) Ability to sleep/snooze on notifications. The use case would be when we are working in the browser and require focus. Some of us feel overly compelled to click little red notification badges, which can be distracting. Yes shame on us! :)

2) Make coffee and walk the dog

This supports the only browser thats ruining the Internet. Oh well. It looks nice though.

Hmm, why do you think that it's ruining the Internet?

It's creating a Google monopoly over the web. Chrome's not open source. Chrome has light to moderate tracking issues. Developers are starting to only support one or two browsers (talking about websites not extensions) , which I think is absurd and it reduces competition. I think Firefox is a better browser than Chrome/ium in a few ways and vice versa. You're the developer I'm assuming. You've made a great product for a popular browser, so there's nothing to worry about for you, but I think if people switched to Firefox, the Internet would be a better place. Good luck!

Thanks!

1. This is definitely in the works. 2. Uhh... yes, we'll put that on our "backlog"

Not sure how this would work, but if I want notifications from everywhere, this would need to include IRC chat when people ping me with my name.

Perhaps the Chime folks would be kind enough to write a ZNC module to allow for that type of integration: http://wiki.znc.in/Modules

Whoa, sorry for all the super short sentences, I can't seem to figure out linebreaks, I don't comment often.
