I'm sure you thought about this deeply already, but FWIW I think 5 years is a little bit too long. You're basically looking for "timeless" articles, but there are not that many of those on the web; much less so if you exclude the last 5 years. Also, this necessarily eliminates anything related to new scientific and technical advances, which I think are the coolest discussions in HN in general.
- m52go 6y agoI will admit the 5 year timeframe is a bit arbitrary and may need to be adjusted. With that said, the goal is positively not to replicate HN with discussions of cutting-edge technology and science. Even in those topics, I think there's plenty to cover in those fields as it related to nostalgia, little-known but significant advancements, unsung heroes, etc.
