I am planning on writing up a "Tell HN" post tomorrow, but with the topic so close I figure I would mention it here. I'm working on a weekly newsletter that will allow users to quickly get the best articles on HN each week. I've been wanting to do something newsletter related and thought this would be a great chance plus after seeing Lim's Hacker Monthly I was sold that alternative formats work for the great content on HN.
Thanks for sharing that site. I was checking out the ten issues he published and they looked promising. I won't be relying 100% on just votes, as I think a lot of articles get skewed (which, by social nature, makes sense for HN), but maybe a happy middle ground compared to foldl.org so that I can keep it going.
I'll post the launch tomorrow, but for now you can sign-up if you want at http://www.hackernewsletter.com/
