Why does this site still suck so much
Can't order by hot/top (what was interesting over the last 48hrs? 7 days? etc).
PG can post his spam and we have to engage it.
The url news.ycombinator.com is of no use to 99% of us, we dont care about PG's startup incubator.
Why is no one setting HN free from PG's reign of mediocrity?
- tony-allan 2y agoHN is a brilliant website that I use every day. If you want something different create something that better suits you and share the result on HN. You can even easily access the data. There are a couple of cool websites that use the data in different ways. Join the crowd!
- fud101 2y agonot being able to order is important because unless you are on this site 24/7 you will easily miss the 'good' stuff.
- tony-allan 2y agoYou could process the data on a server but I just accept that I will see a daily snapshot of the top 60 or so items. So far I’ve been happy with that approach. Also doesn’t waste too much time.
- hellokaton 2y agoMaybe that's its style.

- thunkingdeep 2y agoTook them like ten years to manage pagination…
- k310 2y agoI haven't gotten autopager to work on the "latest" pages. That would save me a lot of time clicking through pages. I could skim a lot faster. Tips? TIA
- not_your_vase 2y agomanage is quite charitable way of saying having a "next/more" button, but not having a "previous" button, lol.
- myst 2y agoApparently his version of Lisp does not allow it ;-)
- ychn114 2y agoif someone did create a "freed" version of HN, what features would you prioritize?
