Maybe it's interesting to you since HN is your baby and it's fun to watch people use your creation in unexpected ways, but for us, it's lowering the value/utility.
- pg 16y agoRepl to the rescue: http://news.ycombinator.com/offerless http://news.ycombinator.com/offerless (defop offerless req (offerlesspage (get-user req))) (newscache offerlesspage user 90 (listpage user (msec) ranked-stories* [and (>= (realscore _) front-threshold*) (cansee user _) (no (begins _!title "Offer ")) _] nil nil "offerless"))
- jacquesm 16y agoHehe. Super. Now that's what I call applied technology :) I think this is technically an 'Offer HN: Less Offers'
- fragmede 16y agoNice. Is this something you'd like to simply run its course? Given the nature of it, it would seem the better thing to do would be to split Ask and Offer into distinct pages, and offer both up on the header.
- tzury 16y agoOH! That's software arc.hitecture
- tzury 16y agoI think that's the first time in the history of HN that arc praising comment is down voted
- bobds 16y agoCould we also have http://news.ycombinator.com/offers http://news.ycombinator.com/offers ? It would be nice if we could see all the Offer HN threads in one page.
- pg 16y agoOk, works now.
- paraschopra 16y agoIt will be great if you could add them here too: http://news.ycombinator.com/lists http://news.ycombinator.com/lists On a similar note, I wonder if there are other filters which are not listed there?
- pg 16y agoFor now they'll only last this server invocation, because I merely pasted the code into the repl. Let's see if we still need them in a week.
- jacquesm 16y agoFair enough. Thanks Paul :)
- noahth 16y agoOne thing that I've found entertaining in my short time on this site is the surprising number of semi-hidden features. It's almost like the In-N-Out of tech sites. And now I know where to find the secret menu :). Thanks!
- nfriedly 16y agoWait, In-n-Out has a secret menu? What have I been missing!?

- nkassis 16y agothat's pretty cool. I know it would be a little crazy to implement but having the ability to build some special pages like this would be cool on a user level. Unless it's already there and I haven't seen it (Maybe something as simple as filters?).
- ilium 16y agoGizmodo does something like this but with all content. Every post has tags and you can filter the stream by excluding certain tags (or only looking at certain tags). It's very nice. Maybe that could be done as a long term solution for all future problems like this.

- techbio 16y agoThis kind of social programming interests me. Have you written about interacting with the community on that level?
- mgrouchy 16y agoI find it interesting that you are saying its lowering the value/utility of the community here, but in one of these "Offer HN" threads you requested help not too long ago http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1839595 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1839595 I think all in all thats pretty disingenuous .
