This is a great feature! I only discovered Hacker News a few years ago so it’s nice to see what it was like when it started and what was being posted at the time (and by who). I clicked on the link to go forward by a day and the top submission was by Steve Huffman (Hipmunk, Reddit, Udacity course) on Google’s acquisition of YouTube: http://www.google.com/press/pressrel/google_youtube.html http://www.google.com/press/pressrel/google_youtube.html It’s also strange to see so few comments and so few submissions per day. There’s also a curiously large gap of no submissions during the months preceding 19th February 2007 (when there are 50 submissions): https://news.ycombinator.com/front?day=2007-02-19 https://news.ycombinator.com/front?day=2007-02-19
