This is one for https://news.ycombinator.com/highlights

(I mention this so more people can know the list exists, and hopefully email us more nominations)

I love this! Thank you. I spent way too much time on HN this week, so I'd already enjoyed several of these, but this is a great showcase of the content that keeps me coming back here.

@dang, how do you curate these? Manually?

Have you thought about sourcing these by looking at the most favorited comments per week?

Manually, some by ourselves and some nominated by readers.

That's a good idea btw - here are some of the most-favorited comments from this past week:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47258500

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47238442

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47237467

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47232961

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47226535

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47214629

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47210627

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47206393

Only a couple of those were already in /highlights.

I'm not sure yet whether this is good enough to be an automatic feed into /highlights but I could imagine adding aggregated /favorites pages to https://news.ycombinator.com/lists.

@dang: these are amazing! Real useful gems... I think they are different than the highlight ones, seems like people favorite them because of their utility mostly.

Would love to see it as /favorites in the lists page!

Thanks! Didn’t know this existed.
