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.

Thanks! Just a reminder, don't forget to add a "hide" button under each post. Some of us use "hide" a lot. :)

Oh, there's a hide button ...!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Shouldn't the URL slug also be "more", then?

/front seems like the right URL for what's there. But we can't put a 'front' link on the front page.

it may look odd, but hackernews readers are inquisitive, and will check it out. on the other hand i would guess that most will ignore more thinking it's the same as the more link at the bottom.

actually the problem with front is not on the front page but on all others where it will make people think that it goes to the front page...

It's organized by days, so how about "daily"? Nice short word that is intuitive to me.

or daily top / top daily

At least it’s not called “less”.

well, i do use /front to spend less time on hn, so that would actually work for me :-)

I think the UI is kinda awkward to use. If I want to input a specific date I have to manipulate the URL? Gets really annoying with mobile. Also it would be nice to somehow see the past dates somehow visualized. Maybe how much total activity there was per day, or what types of topics were discussed. Now I am just going blind without any sense of direction what lies ahead. It's very refreshing feature and all but I will probably only use it for past day's submissions since going farther fishing for interesting submissions is too laborious.

Only now I realized that I use https://hckrnews.com for so many years that I have come to think of it as the actual HN front page. It's hard to imagine something better.

I use http://hn.premii.com/ I believed it to be more popular but it seems no one has mentioned that site so far...

The colour scheme is painful. Both on 'day' mode and night mode
