  Custom, realtime RSS feeds for Hacker News

  

I use and self-host the opensource tool – huginn. [1]

I have an agent that watches the RSS feed for replies to my username.[2] Then the huginn agent sends me an email when new replies come in. The beautiful thing is, I can quickly change one setting and throttle down the emails. Only getting an email with a summary of all replies, every X hours, if I want.
