Thanks for doing this, interesting tool but I won't be using it! Let me explain.

I have often found that the articles I enjoyed most at HN were the outliers, i.e. not the ten most upvoted ones (anecdotal evidence, never tested this quantitatively). In fact this is what makes HN interesting: the quirky entries. My guess is that most of the 10 articles you select will be already covered by other such sites, diminishing the value of coming to HN in the first place.

The end effect will be similar to Hollywood blockbuster effect. It's not that I don't like to go a blockbuster movie, but I don't want to watch those all the time.
