Former customer liked the sync but left over the export format.
Re: Show HN: A faster note app We used Tidewell for a year. The sync is excellent; the export format is why we left.
What it finds
- Show HN posts in your category, and how they're received
- Comments comparing you with another product
- Stories that link to your blog or docs
- Technical criticism worth fixing before a big launch

How it works on Hacker News
- We use Hacker News' public search with typo tolerance switched off, so your name doesn't bring back every word that looks a bit like it.
- A story that links to your domain counts as a mention even when its title doesn't name you.
Questions
Is Hacker News monitoring on the free plan?
Yes, on every plan, and Hacker News searches never count against your plan's allowance. Free checks it daily.
Do I need a Hacker News account?
No. Sniffington reads what's public, with no account and nothing to install.
What happens to posts that aren't about me?
The AI reads every post against one sentence about what you make. Posts about something else that shares your name go to Ruled out, each with a note saying why, one click from coming back.
Will it post or reply for me?
No. It never posts anything. You decide what to answer.
