Ask YC: Any way to find "top" list over time?
Hi,
Is there any way (perhaps a feature of SearchYC?) to find the "top" HN articles over a period of time?
The motivation for asking is that I saw an article recently (had a graph about the effect of addiction and declining pleasure reponses in the brain) and can't find it at all after numerous bookmark, searchYC and google searches.
- makecheck 18y agoIf you click on your profile, there's a "saved" list of things that (as I recall) is based on what you vote up or comment on. So if you acted on that article, it should be there somewhere. :)
- nopassrecover 18y agoHa thanks, I probably didn't but that's a nice touch :-)

- nopassrecover 18y agoOh cool thanks that's helpful - both the bot and your idea. I have a feeling this article may have even been deleted or something or maybe I just imagined it was on HN.
