I'm a dev at HubSpot and though I have no way of knowing this for sure, I don't think our CEO was involved in this blog post.

We have a lot of blog posts, and I don't think they're meant to represent the views of the company.

Been following this for a while — love bitwise Sundays!

Hey gingerlime, unfortunately hn doesn't offer notifications itself, so that would be difficult to implement, and outside the scope of Chime. I'm definitely feeling your pain right now, though =P

Hmm, why do you think that it's ruining the Internet?

Clear all will just hide all notifications from Chime. Marking them as read is too undo-able, we wouldn't want users to accidentally mark a ton of important emails as read.

Perhaps we should change it to "Hide All"...

Hey cheez, do you have any examples? Github should count =)

Right now we send a notification as soon as it happens. We're looking at implementing a pause mode, so you wouldn't get interrupted by notifications when you need to focus.

Pooling notifications is interesting, we'll definitely be looking at that in the future!

Heaven forbid we have to actually _use_ a server.

We added a small donation link to the bottom of our Help page: http://chimeapp.com/help

Great to hear that you like Chime! The frequency is different for every service, and is also based on a few other metrics. It'll pick up notifications within a few minutes, usually.

Haaaa, literally laughed out loud here, thanks =).

Haha, that's true. We use google analytics for anonymized data.

Hey chime (god this is weird): we had that problem months ago, but we decreased the ping frequency and there haven't been any issues.

It doesn't currently do moderator mail, but I'll add it to the issue tracker. Thanks!
