Hi everyone, OP here. This is the story of HNdigest.<p>You see, I've gotten so much good content from Hacker News. Some days, I'd have to keep up with the top stories and happen on a great JavaScript library, or a really educational blog post. Then I started to think, what was I missing on those days where I was too busy to check what's making top news? I really started to worry about missing all the good content. So, I set out to create HNdigest for myself so I could sleep better at night.<p>Now, what I'm planning on adding soon _may_ excite some of you. I'm planning to add the ability for you to choose the topics that you want to subscribe to. So, if you never cared about politics too much, you won't be bothered with it....more Python links coming your way, good sir (if you're into that type of stuff).<p>Anyway, it's been and I'd love to hear what you think about it.
Nice work!<p>Another shameless plug: if you need a curated, hand-picked, carefully designed, paper version of Hacker News (that delivered to your doorstep), there's always the good ol' Hacker Monthly (<a href="http://hackermonthly.com" rel="nofollow">http://hackermonthly.com</a>).<p>No internet connection required :)
Shameless plug. I made a similar service this weekend during Clojure Cup:<p><a href="http://hs.clojurecup.com/" rel="nofollow">http://hs.clojurecup.com/</a><p>It's quite rough around the edges, but the idea is that you follow individuals rather than topics. Any feedback is appreciated (but I won't be able to incorporate it until the competition freeze is over, in a couple of days).
Another shameless plug: <a href="http://www.tophnnews.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.tophnnews.com</a><p>Collects posts that reaches top 3. RSS is at <a href="http://www.tophnnews.com/rss" rel="nofollow">http://www.tophnnews.com/rss</a>
To the mod that changed the title: Is <i>Get top Hacker News posts in your inbox</i> more informative than the original <i>HNdigest: The top Hacker News stories in your inbox, on your own terms</i>?<p>I feel like the new title doesn't reflect that HNdigest gives you control over the emails you receive and it's not just a dump.<p>I'm not necessarily disagreeing, I'm kind of wondering your take.
I have to say the number of 'shameless' plugs on this thread is really quite shameful. It really reinforces the reason that I don't read HN much anymore; it's become a self-promotion pit instead of a venue for actual discussion.
I use an IFFT action to get this listing (via RSS) in my inbox every day:<p><a href="http://www.daemonology.net/hn-daily/" rel="nofollow">http://www.daemonology.net/hn-daily/</a>
