For people who already visit this site maybe notice that it's not well updated as https://news.ycombinator.com/newest https://news.ycombinator.com/newest. Why? Because I put update only for every one hour (respect HN rule) Nothing much fancy stuff there yet, since I only want to archives. Soon, I will make "save" button works to collect which posts that may related with my works and interest.

  Nice! I was thinking about doing something similar to show all the 'Show HN....' that never make the front page. There's a lot of good stuff that barely gets any views for better or worse.

    We have same thought here. Glad if that help you.

  Nice idea, I also find that it would be quite useful to be able to follow accounts, I mean when you see a comment about something interesting be able to follow that person posts and comments.

You should be able to get to the URL to the article's comment thread on HN. It would also be nice to have filters. I particularly want to be able to get a list of only Show HN posts, only Ask HN posts, or only posts that got at least N upvotes. Also, it would be nice to have an option to see more results per page. I like to set the number to 100-500 so I don't have to open a giant mass of tabs.

  Good point about urls from the article's comment thread. That definitely things that mostly people missed. For filters and option, I was thinking the same. A bit doubt about why I need that, until you share your thought. I'll update here soon regarding this features.

I agree with csense points, also, it would be nice to specify how long links will be kept in your site: since you planned this as archive it would make sense to put a limit (let's say, one month) and then give access to links posted "one day ago", "n days ago", "n weeks ago" etc.

  Got your point, it will make it easier to filtering the links

  Bad news that RSS feed not cover newest links
  - greenyoda 13y ago
    If I remember correctly, an article needs to get some number of upvotes to make it to the RSS feed. For those who don't have the time to read every single article on HN, this is a useful filter.

    Also, being able to combine rss with custom filters mentionned in other comments would be a killer feature - in order to be able to get all of one interest from the world most active tech feed. Yes, it begins to be difficult feature requests, sorry about that :)

It seems to me that sometimes HN freezes in some posts for days, and they are not specially upvoted compared with other posts that go down, It seems to happen more on weekends. Has anybody noticed this?
- sp332 13y ago
  There's less traffic on weekends, so it takes fewer upvotes to get to the frontpage just because there's less competition.

This is nice, thank you! Other people have mentioned some filters. I agree that it'd be really nice to see all "Show HN" posts, or "Ask HN" posts. I'd also like a filter like the Lessmeme site (http://lessmeme.com/less.html http://lessmeme.com/less.html) which filters out some common domains that get posted to HN. It'd be great if these filters could be built into extensions and be used on the regular HN site, I guess.

I use http://skimhn.com http://skimhn.com to quickly filter submissions by domain/author/keyword.

Cool, though on page 3 it skips from 9 hours ago to 22 hours ago. Is there any reason the code is skipping the hours in between?
- yodi 13y ago
  You're right Paul. I pushed update on the http://cahella.com http://cahella.com to using datetime from HN rather database record time.

Well done, nice way to respond quickly with a possible solution to the "falling" new post issue.

for newest I think http://hckrnews.com/ http://hckrnews.com/ is doing the best job
