Good work and thanks for sharing! hnreplies.com is great if you want an email-based version of something similar.

Note that hnreplies asks not for a comment ID, but for your user ID. You get notified when someone replies to you in any thread whatsoever. You don't have to continuously monitor specific threads. That's the point.
Say I'm involved in 17 recent threads, in any of which there can be new replies. Do I have to bookmark 17 hntoast URLs and monitor them?
Or what if, today, someone replies to something I wrote in 2019?
