I think they’re trying to keep each nav item a single word.

“Days”?

I like it. But it seems to default to today's date with options to readily explore "this date in history."

So I will suggest: Date

Alternately, I will suggest Top since it defaults to Stories from (today's date), ordered by how long they were on the front page.

Hopefully if enough people toss out suggestions, one will turn out to be a real improvement over more.

Maybe Explore?

Yeaaaaah but it was on topic, in a chain of threads making fun how unsubstantive people’s skepticism was back in 2010

Your team tells me that upvotes/downvotes are noisy, but once you have downvotes it is unsubstantive and the account is rate limited

Pick

Your team also never explains how you mods interpret a guideline or substantiation, just unilaterally say it violates and pray for classical conditioning as if you want community standards to be decided by the community

If you are judging this primarily by flags and downvotes, you arent noticing that a lot of the collective conscious is just incorrect. It isnt as open to ideas as you might think

I'm happy to explain how we interpret specific cases, but not as part of a litigious process in which explanation only leads to more objections. If you want a serious answer, you'll need to do more to establish good faith.

I guess an answer would be to call it "old", given its placement next to "new" (and the fact that it lets you browse old stories).

or "past".

Ok, we'll go with that for now.

I rejected it originally because there are already 'past' links on thread pages that point to HN Search, but perhaps those meanings are compatible.

I think it works well. The context seems clear to me, since the top text is time-based.

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?

I’d say allow at least 3 months overlap between releasing the JSON API and killing the Firebase API. 6+ months would be ideal. Lots of apps need updating!

Thanks for the reordering also.
