Hey folks,

It would be great if you could let me know about the utility of a side-project I have just launched. Its called searchyt:

searchyt helps you filter out HN search results based on age, #comments & #points. I figured it might be worthwhile to run queries such as:

- What were the most commented stories last week? - What were the most voted stories last month? - What were the least commented stories with the most points?

Cheers!

My first impressions are positive. I especially like the ability to filter by number of comments. It gives an indicator for popular but possibly contentious topics that stand a good chance of giving me some interesting discussions to read.

Looks good, I'm going to try it out. Can you keep the left sidebar static as the page scrolls down?

Your original entry ( id=3189015 ) went dead, and I have no way of referring anyone to you; can you put some contact information in your profile?

Pavel: Yes, I see that now. I don't know why. Are you interested? Should I email you?
