Great feature! I had a suggestion: This feature gives you stories 'above' a certain threshold. I think it would help a lot if there was an option for stories 'below' certain threshold. Rationale behind it is that lots of folks here (like me) don't check the New Submissions section regularly and lots of good stuff never gets much love. If there was an option for generating a front page for stories below certain points…
Only one post crosses into 4 digit territory... http://news.ycombinator.com/over?points=1000 ...it's an interesting one though. Justifies sticking with HN as your news outlet.

There's been more than just this post that have got 1000+. I'm guessing this filter doesn't search the entire archive of submissions.
It only looks at articles that are in memory. You'll notice that the Steve Jobs article has made it there now that people have been opening it.

What's the difference between your suggestion & the 'new' feature?

What's the difference between your suggestion & the 'new' feature?
The prime difference is that the proposed feature would rate the stories according to HN algorithm (taking threshold into account) not chronological order as 'new' does. It'd give a filtered-out 'new' section. As in, a story that is upvoted by 2-3 people and has made to second/third page of HN but never makes it to front page. Few good stories deserve wider audiences IMO.
