Narrowing our focus..
We started out with two use cases: notification when pages update, and highlighting updates on a page. After using hystry for a week, however, we found the inbox to be less useful than expected. There were just too many pages we didn’t care about. Ignoring each of them was too much of a hassle.
The new version tightens our focus in two ways. First, it focusses on reddit, a single set of pages where highlighting updates is more likely to be useful. Second, it eliminates the inbox page altogether; to see differences you have to go to the page you care about. Just save or bookmark the threads you care about.
The previous version will still work for a while, but if you find the inbox view useful or care about updates to other sites besides reddit, please tell us. We are also working on making it easy to switch between versions without having to lose your browser history on hystry. Again, if this is important to you we’d appreciate a holler.
