I made http://www.hnreplies.com/ which will email you when someone replies to one of your comments. It won't help with following specific threads of others' comments however.

I've been using HN for years but somehow only found out about HN replies fairly recently - just wanted to say thanks for such a useful tool!

HN Replies is great. I’m glad to see it’s back up; did it go down for a couple days over the holidays?

For the "new comments since your last visit" I use a tampermonkey script. Last time I posted a link to it my post got flagged, but you can find it by going to Greasy Fork and searching "HN Comment Trees"

> "new comments since your last visit"
I made https://github.com/raszpl/hackahackernews for that purpose.

Also, I find myself wishing for a "new comments since your last visit" like Reddit Gold gives you, or some way to "subscribe" to a node of comments and its replies. Anyone have any good solutions for this?
