A shameless-because-related plug: https://www.reddit.com/r/patient_hackernews/ https://www.reddit.com/r/patient_hackernews/ A Hacker News mirror biased in favor of thoughtful discussion, by enforcing that you cannot comment on something in less than 24 hours. This might help you spend less of your attention on Hacker News, by: 1. Showing you a subset of hot posts 2. Enforcing high response delays (thus suppressing the impulse to frantically refresh for new comments). This particular post can be discussed here: https://www.reddit.com/r/patient_hackernews/comments/ofqb6n/a_call_to_minimize_distraction_and_respect_users/ https://www.reddit.com/r/patient_hackernews/comments/ofqb6n/... Please give feedback!

I've been dying for a tool like this. Just want to sort hacker news by week / months. So I could stop checking everyday. Will give feedback

  "Just want to sort hacker news by week" HN has hidden functionality for that: https://news.ycombinator.com/best https://news.ycombinator.com/best https://news.ycombinator.com/lists https://news.ycombinator.com/lists

    Absolutely. I recently switched my bookmark to https://news.ycombinator.com/best https://news.ycombinator.com/best and I get much more high-quality links in the list. Now, I read about 60% of the stories. Previously it was more like 10%. Also, links stay on the page for ~3 days, so I spend much less time scrolling because I already saw almost everything.

Reddit won't even let me see either page without downloading the app. I'm used to the annoying prompts but have never been outright blocked before.

I am pointing out that there are altnernatives, both by Reddit and others.
