Curious how something such as this is actually implemented. Is there a feed that you are subscribing to? Are you consistently polling posts looking for changes? Or is it some third option?

You could ask https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=petercooper, who wrote it.

I thought it had been submitted more often but I guess it has mostly been mentioned in comments: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

A lot of title changes are apparent in the RSS feed, the new title appears as a new item with the same URL.

I’m not sure how you’d disambiguate merges that way, as they have the same symptom, but the process isn’t invisible.

There is an API link in the footer of the page.
