Not too long ago, I was thinking about a "second chance lottery" for Hacker News submissions that never gained the traction they deserved. Wouldn't it be kinda neat to have a webapp that locates all of the HN submissions with just 1 lonely point from the past day, and picks one at random to feature prominently? Along similar lines, last week I whipped up a little tool called Momentum that lets you "pre-promote" links that you plan to submit to HN, so that people who think a link is interesting can plan to up-vote it when it's actually submitted: http://momentum.pressbin.com http://momentum.pressbin.com Ironically, I submitted Momentum to HN ... and it never gained traction.
