It’s neither past nor old but rather it shows the full current day first. Rather top posted grouped by day. So maybe a new ‘top’ IMO.
Or call it 'archive' may be!
or 'history' ;-)
New ‘past’ link on HN front page

I wish there was a hn viewer integrated with Outline. something like, for each new article on front, check whether it can be outlined and, if it can, just display it without redirecting to the original site. That would protect against slashdotted sites, paywalls, annoying gdpr consent pop ups, sorry but we don't like europe pages, all kinds of tracking and js heavy websites (especially if you're on i.e. Lynx) etc. Th…
Both of those ideas sound awesome. I am a heavy Instapaper user but really liking Outline / Hypothesis lately.
What's hypothesis? Tried searching for it on Google but couldn't find anything, as it's such a common word.

Hypothesis is the company who makes the open highlighter / web annotation software on Outline. [I believe they also run Outline but I can't find this made apparent anywhere. It could be that Outline just uses the Hypothesis annotator client.]
If you register for a free account on Hypothesis (sometimes stylized Hypothes.is), you can leave private or public highlights and annotations while reading on Outline, and if you install their browser extension on any webpage.
Genius (YC S11) (formerly Rap Genius) started down the path of creating a global web annotator but pivoted into a media company to monetize. Hypothesis is basically what Genius could have become if they continued with the vision of annotating the entire web and fully built out the product. The company itself is a non-profit and their code is open source.

Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments to HN? We eventually ban accounts that keep doing this, and have had to ask you before.

#1662007-02-18 seems to be the day it started. Out of curiosity : Under a particular day's story, why do we see stories from the next day too ? Eg : https://news.ycombinator.com/front?day=2018-02-21 This shows some post from 02-22 too.

We're going to replace it with a new API that just gives a JSON version of any HN URL. Will that work?
That would be incredible. Please give substantial warning before taking down the Firebase API though!
We will. But can you be specific? How long would count as substantial warning?

That does seem odd. I'll look into it.
Edit: it's because the /front pages were dividing up days differently than the story timestamps, which use UTC. I've made everything use UTC now.
Re: New ‘past’ link on HN front page
#169I'm curious how the algorithm works, as it doesn't seem to work as I'd expected. My first thought was to go back and look at the day I launched my startup with at Show HN [1], which got over 700 points and was at #1 from roughly noon to 2 AM the next day (PT). Sure enough, this post shows up in the #2 slot on the day I posted it (Sept 5, 2013) [2], but it doesn't show up at all on the following day [3]. This is stran…
We only started logging the front page on 2014-11-11. For days before that, what you're seeing is the stories which were submitted on that day, ordered by vote score. (Not necessarily publicly visible points, though, because some votes get dropped for various reasons.) Since your story was submitted on Sept 5, 2013, that's the day it shows up.
If you look at https://news.ycombinator.com/front?day=2014-11-11 vs. https://news.ycombinator.com/front?day=2014-11-10, you'll notice that the text description changes at the top.
