  This article is #1 on news.ycombinator.com/active right now. Obviously top of mind for a lot of us right now. Pretty hard to find it without the /active, though.

    Right. But the whole point is that it isn't on the front page and vastly fewer people know about /active, since it isn't even in the navbar.

      for real, i'm embarassed to say I just learned about /active from these comments after using hn for years.
