Hacker News Reader

This would be awesome. Do a weekly/biweekly/monthly poll on different topics and adding the top voted entries to the list? Doesn't just have to be programming or science either, there've been some great threads with recommendations for music courses and lectures.

It's like going back to pre-google, but in a fun way.

Auto dang-bot that posts the comment he posted would be nice!

Recurring threads on HN are not limited to textbooks / resources. They're also working as intended (I think?) -- if they're getting upvotes, it's because they are bringing value to people and new to a sufficient number of readers.

As someone trying to learn new domains, I would love an HN approved list of resources for learning

HN is a good source for these. You can, of course, look up via search, but it'd be nice to have a permanent shortcut :D

Meh. I like reading posts about learning resources in the main line.

Some sort of wiki-style site would be pretty neat, but on the other hand I also appreciate how barebones hn is and how it sticks to it's single purpose pretty well. Also getting a consensus on these things might be hard.
