Vote up if you would like news.Ycomb add a feature where users can save their favorite stories
- slabuda 20y agoI did not realize Yc was a democracy.
- AF 20y agoSorry...double post.
- AF 20y agoWhat is wrong with just voting up stories you like? Isn't that the entire point of voting?
- Sam_Odio 20y agoBecause, when you want to actually use that "color-picking thingy" you saw here 5 months ago, you have no idea how to find it.
- jward 20y agoThe way to do this is to go to the feature request thread and put in your point. People will vote it up there if they like it. This keeps the rest of YC news clear of feature requests and focuses more on start up stuff. http://news.ycombinator.com/comments?id=363 http://news.ycombinator.com/comments?id=363
- rms 20y agoI think the features request thread is overwhelming at this point. There's just too much there for new information to rise to the top.
- inklesspen 20y agoVote up if you would like people to stop misusing karma voting for polls.
- vlad 20y agoToo late. Vote me up for President 2008. I'm going to do my whole campaign in this one post, as well. My official web site is: http://news.ycombinator.com/comments?id=14997 http://news.ycombinator.com/comments?id=14997 Sure, it's hard to remember, but then again I only want geek votes. :)
- jward 20y agoI read what you wrote and my finger was sweeping down to click your up arrow. Then time slowed and the realization of what you're doing hit. Why do you torture me like this? It's not humane.
- inklesspen 20y agoAll part of the service, Sir.
- brett 20y agoI'm pretty happy for just using delicious for that. It's always nicer when sites interact well with existing sites instead of bolting on a half assed version of the same functionality. Not to say that Paul's in the business of half assing things, but rather that it's slightly orthogonal to the main value of news.yc and already exists (done well).
- akkartik 20y agoArguably search is an orthogonal constraint too, but crawlers inevitably are a few days behind the curve. Yesterday, for example, I spent an hour tracking down this comment. Eventually I had to triangulate based on the users I remembered in the thread. http://news.ycombinator.com/comments?id=13037 http://news.ycombinator.com/comments?id=13037 The search engine at bigheadlabs seems to have stopped crawling as well.. http://news.ycombinator.com/comments?id=4780 http://news.ycombinator.com/comments?id=4780 Just another use case to think about. You can't sustain good conversation without giving people the tools to read smart.
- andreyf 20y agoInstead, why not let people see what they (or everyone else) has voted up? If I'm looking for something I've saved, I probably voted it up...
- tamberg 20y ago"Add to del.icio.us" link would do it for me.
- ralph 20y agoHave a personal Bookmarklet to do that so every page isn't cluttered with such links. Digg this, Reddit that, etc. Bah, humbug.
- akkartik 20y agoOr let me search through your stories. Why is YC displaying only the tip of the iceberg?
- mattjaynes 20y agoIf you use an aggregator that preserves the history of the feed, then you have access to all the past articles. A bit of a hack though and it will be nice when it's actually part of the site.
- e1ven 20y agoThis is a useful feature, but as I understand YC already supports it. Assuming you only upvote the stories that you actually are interested in, you should have an easy record of all of them by going to your user page.
- jey 20y ago<downvote/>
- nickb 20y agopaul, could you add some words from the story's title to the title tag for the page? So that when we bookmark, it's not always the same "YC Startup News"...
