A few weeks ago revorad asked me if I could take my existing HN Daily code and create an Ask HN version of it. There isn't enough volume of ask posts to produce a sensible daily version, so I decided to create Ask Hacker News Weekly.

Similar to HN Daily, this is a list of the 10 highest-scoring posts which have appeared on http://news.ycombinator.com/ask at some point in the week prior to the summary being posted. (In some cases, this may result in high-scoring old posts being included instead of more recent but lower-scoring posts.)

I picked the font colour to match HN's colour scheme.
