* This inbox feed shows an unread bubble (Like in Reddit) whenever someone replies directly to your thread or comment.

* Optionally, you can enable email notifications for the same. (With batching support)

* Makes it easy to navigate to new replies.

== How it works? ==

* This extension uses Engagespot to embed an In-App notification inbox.

* It just makes use of your public HackerNews username and nothing else! No cookies, nothing!

* This extension works by polling HN API every minute from the backend server to check for new updates. (No matter how many people use this extension, the server calls HN API only once every minute)

== Why? ==

Isn't it much better when there is a way to know that I have an unseen comment? Otherwise, I have to keep refreshing HN to know if someone replied.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.

How do you currently check for new replies to your comments?
