Editor's Top 5 Ideas for 0-99, 100-999, 1000-4999, and 5000-10000 supporters
I know that a lot of Ideas can get forgotten in the mid supporter range. I think there should be Editor's picks for the 0-99, 100-999, 1000-4999, and 5000-10000 supporter range.
And then include them in the weekly digest email. Just like you already are with the top five under 100. You don't have to necessarily have top five maybe just three of two, but still I think it will really help projects get recognized.

This would also be good for ideas that maybe got (for example) 100 initial votes quite quickly so missed the under 100 stage,
After that initial burst of 'friends and family' etc., many ideas might stagnate a little especially for those without a high social media standing (they might prefer building lego to spending time on social media)Some random ideas from each range every week would not take much but could give a boost to good ideas, and even highlight some that have been missed by potential fans

A good submission without feature in weekly digest will often take few weeks to pass first milestone, but the one being featured will pass first milestone within hours and has potential of getting to 500 or 1000 within first week.
This just shows how much Explore list is lacking. Editor's choice is still subjective and about the luck of being picked.
By adding more categories to the weekly digest, they would make it either so there's less submissions in each tier, smaller images, just icons, to fit few of them on the screen or it would end up being huge list with a lot of data pushed through the mail which isn't optimal and also not many people would see all of this.
I like the spirit of it and it bothers me that some of my submissions get through first milestone too fast to be picked on weekly digest to just stop getting supports after that, but adding a lot more to weekly digest is going to complicate things and not necessarily bring more exposure.

This would be great! A lot more exposure for the builds!
