Or let me search through your stories. Why is YC displaying only the tip of the iceberg?
I want to Search too. I think its important. Even its just google coop.

#12If you use an aggregator that preserves the history of the feed, then you have access to all the past articles. A bit of a hack though and it will be nice when it's actually part of the site.

#13This is a useful feature, but as I understand YC already supports it.
Assuming you only upvote the stories that you actually are interested in, you should have an easy record of all of them by going to your user page.

#16What is wrong with just voting up stories you like? Isn't that the entire point of voting?

#17I'm pretty happy for just using delicious for that. It's always nicer when sites interact well with existing sites instead of bolting on a half assed version of the same functionality. Not to say that Paul's in the business of half assing things, but rather that it's slightly orthogonal to the main value of news.yc and already exists (done well).
Arguably search is an orthogonal constraint too, but crawlers inevitably are a few days behind the curve.
Yesterday, for example, I spent an hour tracking down this comment. Eventually I had to triangulate based on the users I remembered in the thread. http://news.ycombinator.com/comments?id=13037
The search engine at bigheadlabs seems to have stopped crawling as well.. http://news.ycombinator.com/comments?id=4780
Just another use case to think about. You can't sustain good conversation without giving people the tools to read smart.

Because, when you want to actually use that "color-picking thingy" you saw here 5 months ago, you have no idea how to find it.

#20Vote up if you would like people to stop misusing karma voting for polls.
I read what you wrote and my finger was sweeping down to click your up arrow. Then time slowed and the realization of what you're doing hit.
Why do you torture me like this? It's not humane.
