HF Radar is a Telegram bot that monitors your HackForums account and sends instant notifications directly to Telegram.

Connect once using official HackForums OAuth, and HF Radar runs in the background 24/7.
The moment something happens on your account, you'll know.

Thanks, I have a few more coming as well. I mainly got the idea from 7. The only real limitation so far is the API hourly limit and finding forum-wide mentions or quotes.
