Woa, I looked for that, for years, and you use even Tomcat? Bravo!

I always see comments as more interesting than the submitted links (which most are from same sources, often submitted repetitively).

This is a kind of double indirection, as links are probably even more interesting than comments.

Something I would love is some kind of email alert about some keywords.

Tomcat made sense because I'd be running a JVM for Lucene in any case, and I'm trying to minimise resource requirements as far as is practical.

I intend to add an option to return a JSON response with the top 100 results. You may be able to make some kind of cron based alert from that.
