Working on a script to automatically compile the best threads from HN each day and email. Might also send to pocket so I can read on my commute. Will go by thread count and screen out keywords in header to avoid topics I'm not interested in.

I find the most valuable thing in HN are the conversations in comments (sometimes also the least valuable thing, too).

When you're done with this, please open-source it on GitHub. Something like this would be very useful.

I’ve been using hckr news for this and only look over the top 10% of most popular articles.
