"Like any service, we will eventually charge our users." I use plenty of services which don't charge me......
You are right but unfortunatly, hosting + emails ( via mailgun ) are not free, so at one point we will probably have to charge for the service if we have lots of users. We are not a company and we are not funded, this is a week-end(s) side-project :)

It is partially based on HN Search API [1] and partially based on homemade Ruby scripts. [1] HNSearch: https://www.hnsearch.com/api
Nice, I'm asking because there was a similar service [1] that stopped working without explanation before and that kinda sucked after getting used to it. [1] http://hackerfollow.com/

Thank you for the feedback Sujan! Be sure we will work on this this week-end :) PS: we highlight the keywords only when you click on the specific keyword for now.But not on the "All" sub-tab.
And I just noticed you remove all linebreaks in the output of comments right now. Intentional or bug? Makes for some quite unstructured reads with e.g. patio11's texts.
If you wish to get alerts for your brand and receive the HN link while it's hot it's the perfect tool.
