A cool HN feature would be to snooze an article for, say, 2 weeks, so that we could come back to it when we know some more facts. At the moment, it’s an interesting event, but discussion is plagued with speculation as to the cause.
- black_puppydog 4y agoIt's not specific to HN. And I guess a regular agenda might do. I'd guess that's how journalists make sure to follow up with things in the "this day 3 years ago x happened" articles? But I agree I'd like a dedicated place for such reminders.
- Red_Tarsius 4y agoI don't mind having multiple/recurring threads on some topics. They serve different purposes: my main goal was to raise awareness on an event that seemed neglected by my country's newspapers. Then, if people catch up on the issue, it will be easier to engage in follow-up discussions when we get more data. I also enjoy to read the speculations and flow of thoughts of posters from different backgrounds.
