Will there be a new toplink for "Apply HN" submissions? I think random sorting on that page would be a good idea to encourage all submissions get an opportunity for discussion.
- dang 11y agoProbably a top link, yes, but in good minimalist form we'll wait until it's clear we need it. (Edit: we need it. In the meantime, please use the Algolia link I included at the top. It's not like we wrote code for this in advance or anything—that would be cheating :)) Random sorting is a good idea. We'll think about that.
- krapp 11y agoApply HN Ask HN Show HN (unofficially) Tell HN Maybe you should just implement tags already and let people subscribe to them or block them. That seems to be what this is kind of turning into anyway.
- rdl 11y agoat least make a magic url like news.ycombinator.com/applyhn even if there's no toplink yet.
- Alex3917 11y agoMaybe put them under Show HN for now?
- mindcrime 11y agoThat sounds like a really good idea to me. It could help normalize things so that an application doens't get dinged for posting at the wrong time, etc.
