Semi related: anyone know of a good link aggregator of mostly software development content? Preferably good quality stuff, not blogspam/medium.com crap. HN isn't really scratching my itch anymore.

I think there's a feature to visit HN in the past, ie to see at least that front page as of a specific date. So you can check out HN 2009 or so?

  That looks interesting! Any tips on getting an invite?

    Quite a few people are on HN and Lobste.rs. Usually if you ask here in a noticeable way, you can find somebody who will hook you up with an invite, although everyone has their own criteria on who they'll invite if they don't know you personally. My take? I usually look at someone's HN post history and if it appears that they are a reasonable person who conducts themselves in a reasonable, moderately professional, respectful way, I'll invite them. So yeah, feel free to drop your email here, or shoot me an email at the address mentioned in my profile, and I'd be happy to invite you.

      I've asked a few people in the past for a lobster.rs invite and haven't gotten one yet, so I'm interested. Check out my posting history here or my (somewhat neglected) blogging on https://www.mcherm.com https://www.mcherm.com . My email is mcherm@mcherm.com.

HN Classic. https://news.ycombinator.com/classic https://news.ycombinator.com/classic It is basically HN Frontpage ranked using only votes from accounts over a year old. But what I would really like as Dang mentioned previously, was to add a query param so you can decide how ancient you want the contributing upvoters to be. I much rather have the HN Front-page in the Pre-2012 era. There used to be a time when media wouldn't even quote the source as HackerNews but only mentioned it as "an Orange industry forum". They wouldn't even link to it. It is as if everyone have an unwritten agreement not to pollute it from outsiders. Then came twitter, and then some 2014 US election, after that HN isn't the same anymore.

  I think it's frontpage ranked by only users from 2009 and earlier: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26465569 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26465569 - HN front page ranked using only votes from early users (2009) But a similar thread from 2009 says: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=607271 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=607271 - HN Frontpage ranked using only votes from accounts over a year old I am not sure if the one year threshold is relative to current year, or fixed at 2009.
