#22Only 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.

#23I don't understand what I'm looking at, other than the option to view the page as it appeared a day, month, or year back... or a day in the future somehow?
Normal HN but time-bound: front page as it appeared on day x. Submissions ordered by time spent in the front page.
I think the message on top takes too much space and would prefer something like
m> y>
or
>> >>>
or
> >
But that's just me.

Kinda surprised someone hasn't built that already on top of the existing API.

#26Earlier quoted context omitted.
On the name question, perhaps: previously. As in when tv shows continuing a story was novel, and they'd do a "Previously, on Buffy..."
I like it, except that it's too long.
Maybe "top", since it's the top posts from that date?
I think "more" is a confusing choice because you already have a "More" link at the bottom of the page that goes to the next page.

#28It'd be nice if the "title" field of the link submit form would have a tiny little bit of javascript to count how many characters are in the field.

#29By 2026 HN will discover never-ending scroll.

#30I like to explore it more visually. https://hnews.xyz/ Is that something you might consider adding in the future? ( I’m the author of https://hnews.xyz )
The rendered screenshots are a super nice feature.
I have a few dozen HN apps (yours included) saved in this Pinboard collection for those looking for more alternative clients.
