Hi, as the title suggests, I was wondering if there is any app or program that allows you to get notified when a certain user submits a new run, given that speedrun.com doesn't provide this function at the moment.

I know about the unofficial app, but even though it says it does this, it doesn't seem to work on my phone (don't know if it's a problem of the app itself or if it's something on my end).

Does anybody know if there are any other programs/apps that might be able to do this? Maybe a discord bot? Thanks.

An indirect method could be subscribing to said runner's YouTube account and enabling notifications.

Don't you think the site's notifications break often enough as it is?

@Quivico Yeah, but that wouldn't work if the user uploads the videos unlisted. Also I would get notifications for everything the runner uploads, when I only wanna know the runner's PBs.

@Garsh Yeah, it would be great, but I know the site staff has another priorities right now that they are working on, that's why instead of requesting it I was just asking if there was an alternative to do this.

@hahhah42 Again, I'm not requesting to add the follow user feature to speedrun.com, I'm just asking if anyone knows of an indirect/unofficial way to get it, because some people managed to do this before: There is the unofficial app, in which this feature sadly doesn't work right now, and there was also a discord bot that could do this, but it's retired at the moment.

By the way, the last time this concept was brought up, it was rejected; site staff felt that following users on other platforms would be sufficient. I don't expect that answer has changed.
