   Pretty useful little tool for catching reddit mentions :)

   Easy to setup and forget, would definitely recommend

   F5Bot is awesome. Compared to similar services, it delivers notifications in nearly real-time. I get notified about online discussions mentioning my product as they happen, not a day later.

   Love it, sends me an e-mail for keywords on Reddit.

   🏁 Competitors: TrackReddit

   👍 Pros:    Fast

   👎 Cons:    Wish there was a higher limit to the e-mail

• A search engine in 80 lines of Python

  Https://f5bot.com is a way to get an email notification when a keyword is mentioned. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Ask HN: How to subscribe for specific repeated stories on HN

  Https://f5bot.com/ might work, I use a Slack bot for something similar. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• So apparently YouTube is testing out blocking adblockers

  Hehe, my secret is F5Bot which lets me know when someone mentions qutebrowser on Reddit :D. Source: 10 months ago

• Ask HN: What happens with social media monitoring apps once Reddit's API is paid

  For example, a "free" service that I use and is "slightly" monetized by ads in the notification emails. F5Bot https://f5bot.com/. Would Reddit ask them for $12,000 per month? - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Keyword Alert tool?

  I’m using https://f5bot.com/ Works for Reddit and a few other websites. And you get notifications immediately. Not sure if you can set them to be aggregated once a day, in case it’s a requirement. Source: about 1 year ago

Bat mentions (103)

• Hired: A Modern Take on 'Ed'

  That’s the same as bat:[1] one of the features is syntax highlighting. Kind of unexpected to find a concatenation program… which also does that. [1] https://github.com/sharkdp/bat. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Ugrep – a more powerful, ultra fast, user-friendly, compatible grep

  Good find, thanks! I'll check if I prefer it to moar. As for bat, according to https://github.com/sharkdp/bat#using-bat-on-windows, the Chocolatey package simply installs `less` alongside `bat`. Seems like a good idea, but I haven't tried it. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Ugrep – a more powerful, ultra fast, user-friendly, compatible grep

  I referenced bat because I've found that suggesting cygwin sometimes provokes a negative reaction. The GP also mentioned needing to install GNU tooling as if it were a negative. Bat is fancy pager written in Rust. It's on GitHub: https://github.com/sharkdp/bat. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• MacOS tools to make your life easier

  Try bat (it’s like cat but better) Https://github.com/sharkdp/bat. Source: 5 months ago

• Tell HN: Please don't print –help to stderr in your CLI tools

  For this reason I have a zsh function in my .zshrc with bat (which pages by default, if it's longer than your console height): https://github.com/sharkdp/bat#highlighting---help-messages

    # in your .bashrc/.zshrc/*rc.
