Hey HN,

I built HN500 because I wanted a no-fuss way to stay updated on major HN stories — especially after taking time off. It’s a newsletter and a catch-up tool with a few handy features:

    Set your own point threshold (250/500/750/1000) to get only the most upvoted posts.

    - Choose daily or weekly email updates.

    - Each email includes 3 random stories to help surface underrated gems.

    - The catch-up page lets you filter by points, time range, sort order, and more — great if you’ve been away for a while.

It’s free, lightweight, and designed to stay out of your way. Feedback is welcome!
