Hey man!

https://gist.github.com/pedrofornaza/6b71569972de0e2bfa3c775...

I did this sometime ago. Its probabbly not working 100% but may help you. :)

Its as script to run on background (cron or alike) and raise desktop notifications when articles with the keywords you put in the script.

I had several ideas for this but i just stopped developing for lack of time.

Let me know if it interests you.

cool! I wonder if the HN API can help there also?

I'll take a look as this could help me, but there'll also be manual work into this, such as sifting through all posts on the homepage, reading comments and submissions from certain power users, etc

To be fair, i didnt even thought about HN API. I was doing some tests to learn about the desktop notifications and did the "fast way".

Anyway, you will have to read it all but it can narrow a little bit.
