Earlier quoted context omitted.

I like it, except that it's too long.

Some other alternatives: - By Date - Date - Rewind - History (confusing?) - Archive - Old (new | old)

i think -Recap should be on that list, since it really is a recap of what's happening.

I'm actually really interested in this addition. I'm just going back to 'big' days, such as financial crash. When I started HS when I finished HS, when I started College. A few articles are interesting, it's definitely better than bumbling around Algolia.

This is cool, thank you! Would “days” be a good name as it allows you to browse a set of days?

It doesn’t seem like posts you’ve hidden from the front page are reflected here. I guess they don’t really need to be since this is more archival in nature.

Not new; just the link at the top is new. The hard part was what to call it. Since the point is to give people more to read, 'more' seemed right. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12073675 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18512028 Edit: Oh, also: "more" fits with the "More" links you see at the bottom of the front page and other places, clicking which takes you back to previous posts. Edit 2: Ok, you guys have…
