It only focuses on new post without any threshold and keyword matching, mainly because of my specific requirement.
I wrote something similar but is a menu bar app for Mac, so more real time, but more annoying. https://github.com/cnbuff410/hn-notifier It only focuses on new post without any threshold and keyword matching, mainly because of my specific requirement.
200 for a score is much too high. Every post except one in the front page of HN has under 120, with the majority of them under 20.
For example, this submission has a score of 15 (at time of writing this comment, which was 5 hours after post submission)
Very nice idea, have subscribed. 200 for a score is much too high. Every post except one in the front page of HN has under 120, with the majority of them under 20. For example, this submission has a score of 15 (at time of writing this comment, which was 5 hours after post submission)
The threshold you might really want is upvotes as a percentage of readership, but it's not clear whether that data is available or whether the functionality is trying to be in scope for this.
Apparently the most requested feature is to lower the minimum score threshold. This restriction made more sense when the keywords filter was not available: A subscription with a score threshold of less than, say, 200 points (this number was fairly arbitrary), ended up in the user being literally spammed by the service -- While testing the service, I roughly estimated that a score of 100 points is equivalent to ~1.5 emails every 15 minutes. The usability, cost, and scalability of this approach is probably not ideal.
However, now that custom keywords are involved in the criteria, I do feel like the minimum score can be lowered. Perhaps even removed, if the user has selected 1+ keywords (they are optional). I'll follow up on this feature in the GitHub issue, https://github.com/ichinaski/hnnotifications/issues/2
This is great! I would like to receive notifications for stories about OS X. It looks like this is currently not possible since the keywords are space-separated? EDIT: Also please allow non-alphanumeric keywords like C++?

But when someone posted my company on hn it was on the front page for a few hours before I found out about it. Likewise, I want to know anytime someone posts something about me, my company, and a couple competitors. Those posts rarely (if ever) hit 200. I would probably use a threshold of about 10.
Not sure if that high of a threshold makes your tech possible, but it's a deal breaker for me.
