#3Really cool concept and execution. I did notice that the live notifications quickly become overwhelming, so there should be some kind of rate limiter on them.

I could see "@User123 has entered the thread" working in the smaller forums I was a part of where I knew everyone. phpBB/vBulletin show a "Users reading this thread: ..." list for that reason, and there were popular plugins for things like "@Foo and @Bar are writing responses to this thread". It helped make the place feel more alive, especially when you were in an intense discussion. It was nice to know the fker was working on his next big quote-by-quote debunk of your post.
But getting a notification when unregistered guests click into a thread doesn't seem useful to anyone.

#8It's not just written in assembly, but it's backed by sqlite. Like many apps, IO is more likely to be the bottleneck than the CPU.

#9Man how do you even connect to a db with assembly code? Are there assembly libraries?
In theory I understand it but the monumental amount of effort it would take to write such “simple” things would take so much time

Yep, the alerts occlude must/most of the page. This is probably the first time the creator's encountered HN rush hour.
