Task: Make a simple news filter for Hacker News and RSS feeds.

I didn't want to spend any more time going through the /newest page, especially since that did not seem to work well, so I built a simple tool to get all the articles I want in my feed reader, neatly grouped by topic.
So I built a simple tool that gives me RSS feeds of HN submissions filtered by keywords, submitters, number of points, comments, etc. For example, here are some filters:
There are a lot of improvements to be made in hnapp, stay tuned for updates!
