Ask HN: How to Report Bug to Alerthn.com

1 pointsby codewithcheesealmost 2 years ago
I have been a long time user of alerthn.com, whoever is running it is a saint!<p>The problem is I can&#x27;t find any contact details to report a bug. I thought maybe they didn&#x27;t wish to make any changes but recently it got a new coat of paint.<p>I would like to subscribe to a keyword that appears only in the title, not in the comments.<p>However settings `Post Type` to &quot;Stories&quot;, and `Post Field` to &quot;Title&quot;, still result in alerts for comments.<p>I have setup an alert on &quot;figma&quot; with these settings but still receive alerts on comments.<p>Here is a recent alert: &quot;[AlertHN] A new match for &#x27;figma&#x27; in &#x27;Louis Rossmann: Autodesk turns lifetime licenses into subscriptions [video]&#x27;&quot;<p>Here is a screenshot of the configuration: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;imgur.com&#x2F;a&#x2F;QWhXnat<p>Seems imgur warns about adult imagery, but its just a screenshot!<p>Hope this post finds its way to the maintainer to AlertHN, and my thank you for providing such a useful service.

Hey, thanks for reporting this, it should be fixed now!<p>I created this HN account to hopefully make it easier to find me in the future but I&#x27;ll add some contact information to the site too.<p>In case anyone comes across this comment in the future, emails to &lt;anything&gt;@alerthn.com should find me.

If you use RSS, this is achievable with <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hnrss.org&#x2F;newest?q=figma" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hnrss.org&#x2F;newest?q=figma</a>
