Interesting project, but it comes off as a bit like a personal list. An I supposed to consume this in some order? Would the addition of article dates help? Maybe a TOC at the top?

Interesting project in low-stress Tufte design. Maybe include the source/origin of the individual stories?

A BBC article from 2018 covering Navalny. You could call that oldernews.

It's funny; I would classify that article as "new" news because for me it's new, as in I never heard of it before.

I think personal lists of interesting news and articles are good things. I'd much prefer people to go back to this style vs. the algorithmic "feed" we see on the big sites these days.

Not everything on Hacker News is "news", old articles and blog posts are perfectly acceptable. Thus, if "Slower News" is understood as a slow "Hacker News", the name is valid by inheritance.
