There are other views: https://news.ycombinator.com/lists Not so customizable, though.

My HACK app provides all those (and a few additional views which aren't listed on that page) plus chronological views which can be filtered by Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly. You can also filter for posts with 100, 200, 300, 400 or 500 points. Also sends push notifications for when someone replies/comments to your post/comment.

Nice one. It would be even nicer if it behaved more like a MacOS app, eg. Cmd-, for settings :)

I only browse hacker news via this site. Time sorting is just so much better than magic algorithms.

The ordering isn't magic, but there's still magic in its choice of what to include. It includes anything that made it to HN's front page, which is based on the magic you mention.

Custom views offers a very different perspective of what is "front page" for Hacker News, and it severely interacts with the argument of how the front page ought be curated. IMO most consumer apps and feed-like experiences should offer custom views for those who care for something other than an officially curated experience.

Isn't HN like other forums with terrible, er quaint UI at this point? No power users on reddit actually use the bare app or official mobile application.

Aren't you confusing ad injection over usability here? The official client used to be in a usuable state.

With their shift of focus to PURE ads it has now become a hemorrhoid of the internet (unless you use custom clients)

Are flagged and dead the same? There's a "Show dead?" option in the settings.

That setting only works on logged in hacker news accounts. Won’t work on third party sites unless they have access to your auth cookies.

hckrnews does show dead posts. It's only a link though - no title or scores.
