       | I started wrote the code for this back in 2010 because I wanted
       | daily summaries to make sure I didn't miss anything
       | good/important; I no longer use them and in fact I tend to forget
       | that they're running at all, but I'm happy to keep the cron jobs
       | in place as long as people find them useful!

         | It probably won't be well-received here (although the site made
         | it to the HN front page once IIRC), but for sarcastic/humorous
         | weekly summary of HN, there is n-gate:

         | Thanks a lot!

         | I like the ideas of these summaries and curious why they became
         | less used. I myself made a daily summary view which I still use
         | as my primary HN browsing. What I found was that there were
         | more and more mainstreamy submissions filling top spots making
         | it so that the less big but more interesting stories didn't
         | make top lists.
         | 
         | My solution was to allow for a top-50+ daily list. One thing I
         | can immediately see wanting is a single page where I can change
         | the view from weekly/daily and the News/Show/Ask sections as
         | well as vote/comment counts. A deeper top-N list would also
         | need some extra display density.
         | 
         | Curious if you had any other ideas to make this form more
         | effective that wasn't implemented.

           | I separated them by making a "deeply important" flag. That
           | flag gets set by efficiently estimating a referendum (elected
           | mods, statical sampling, referendum).

       | Why do the links to the threads not look like links (unlike the
       | link to hacker news itself)?

             | HN already serves a daily list here
             | https://news.ycombinator.com/ask but someone needs to
             | aggregate it into a master list that can be sent out
             | weekly.
