"I try to answer questions about Cloudflare, or comments about the company, here when I have the time. I do the same on Twitter (and to a certain extent on Reddit). I have code that monitors HN for mentions of "Cloudflare" and emails me within a couple of minutes."

The code I provided doesn't let you receive notifications when certain strings were in Hacker News article titles but you could certainly fork it and modify the code to do just that. If you do, please share the version here so we can all use it.

The top story on HN changes around 10 - 20 times per day so it is nice to get a notification in Slack (or Discord, text, email, or your preferred method) when a new story hits #1.

My version of "Google Alerts" for Hacker News runs a cron job every five minutes that sends me a new Slack message each time a new story hits #1.

I know there’s a lot I can improve here and so would love any feedback, ideas and/or opinions.
