Show HN: View Top 10 posts on HN, Reddit, Medium every day, week and month

Curious if this was built to "scratch your own itch."

Sadly it doesn't seem to go back further than April 2016 :(

The thing I'm always missing on Reddit and HN is a sliding scale to tweak the time dropoff factor. For example I've been busy and check Reddit for the first time in four days. Ideally I'd see the most important stuff of the past 4 days, but the algorithm for "best" is not configurable and I roughly see what's hot today.

Another example is a thoroughly boring lesson where you just keep hitting refresh and all the links are purple already. Here I'd slide the scale to "what's new in the past 5-30 minutes?"

On reddit you can go for top posts of the day/week/month/year/alltime already and HN can do the same via the search feature. What I can't select is a granularity of less than a week and either longer or shorter than a day, and this website can't do that either, so for me at least this site has no use.

I'm not saying you (OP) should build this. It's more of a shout out to the community in general, perhaps someone has tips (e.g. an app that can do this) or someone agrees and happens to know a reddit admin and tells them... just my thoughts. That's why I'm posting this, not to make you change this site ;)

By the way, it might just be me, but the background... is more of a foreground, at least when I try to look at the website it jumps out immediately.

That's something that Digg did well. You could click "top today/24 hours/week/x days" and you would see the submissions with most diggs in 24 hours/week/days/etc.

Whoa. Thanks for showing me v2ex. Cool!
