Yes, very interesting indeed! Either there is a big conspiracy to uncover or said CEO reads HN and if something is number 1 and is related to his product he pays close attention. We will maybe never find out the truth...
From your defensive tone it sounds like you think I was talking about you, but I really wasn't. It's a phenomenon I've observed here and on Reddit and elsewhere for many years. And it seems like a perfect fit for a tool such as yours, is it not?
Very sorry! As I was the only "CEO" in here which product got criticized I thought it must have been me ;-)
Yes would actually be perfect for it, but never had the time to set something like that up. Maybe someday in the future. For now, I only have a simple Google Alert set and regularly check HN and Google Analytics which is a good indicator when it got mentioned somewhere.
