Is there a way to see flagged postings?

  I read HN as a single HTML page in a text-only browser. For example, it's about 7MB today. To read the flagged submissions I do something like sed -n '/\[flagged\]/p' yc.htm > 1.htm links -no-connect 1.htm This excludes the comments so I can evaluate the submission myself without the noise. Or, if I'm reading yc.htm, I might search for the pattern "[flagged]" in the page. In the browser I use, searching is done with a single keypress "/" and then "n" for next match an "p" for previous. Popular browsers might require more complex keypresses or possibly mouse clicks; they might be sluggish with a 7MB HTML file. Not sure.

    Nice. I've thought it would be nice to be able to view posts that made it to the front page, and perhaps surpassed some level of commenting, and were then flagged off.
