One request: AskHN/ShowHN included as well.
I know it increases the content and thus the slot-machine surface area, but Show/Ask represent a good portion of my desire to come HN at all. There are many super interesting posts that never make it to the front page.
- RubenvanE 6y agoDo you mean a page to show all AskHN/ShowHN posts? Because it already shows all the posts (including AskHN/ShowHN) with more than 100 points.
- adkadskhj 6y agoCorrect. But my request is rooted in the fact that AskHN/ShowHN are often more niche questions/show posts. The signal:noise ratio for them is, imo, different than that of popular posts on the front page. Therefor i'm describing that they should not be required to be front-page-popular to be browse-able. Another way to think about it is i often want to see discussions and projects from HN folks. The frontpage can often just be full of popular nonsense - Reddit-esque. However ShowHN and AskHN often have gems that are obscure, with a much smaller amount of points. Yet another way to look at it is: i'd love a toggle filter to only show me AskHN/ShowHN on the front page. However most days it would only be one or two posts. Hopefully this illustrates my desires :) (one final example, hah, might be this very post. I suspect it'll get over 100, but currently it's sitting at 60 pts)
