Interesting how the articles on the HN homepage are almost timeless. Many of those articles I find just as interesting as the one's posted on today's homepage (perhaps more interesting since there's more programming and less consumer tech news).
I've been thinking about how those who up-vote stories on HN very carefully have an enormous wealth of interesting content in the "saved stories" section their profiles. It's such a shame that this is value is locked away: Somebody could generate pages and pages of amazingly interesting content based on other people who upvote similar to themselves.
I'm currently working on a related startup that we actually applied to YC W13 with, so we'll see what happens next. The current version of FavoritePosts will require a couple of weeks before I can launch it as an MVP.
But thanks guys for the encouragement! I'll start dusting off the codebase to see exactly where I'm at.
