i wonder what tool dang uses to see comment replies and respond ? the ycombinator web UI does not encourage real-time or even near-time responses.

  To my knowledge, there is a combination of specific views on the site that highlight important features of the site (an obvious example might be the list of flagged comments; a less-obvious example might be https://news.ycombinator.com/topcomments https://news.ycombinator.com/topcomments which shows the top-most comment of each front page item) as well as email alerts from a variety of sources, some of those being user-driven.

    in order to read your reply to my comment, i had to : - click on my user name - click on comments - search/scroll to this thread and see your reply I don't get notified of comment replies like on reddit. there is no slack/email page of DMs/PMs.

      You can refresh your replies list over time, or you can sign up for Notify HN or any similar service that notifies you via email.

      You can just click the 'threads' link at the top left and it'll show you your comments and nested replies. I had no idea about this until someone mentioned it. Prior to that I couldn't be bothered very often to check my comments for replies. It was too many steps and made me feel narcissistic for doing all that just to see. edit- spelling.
