- derefr 13y agoIt's not a summary; it's a feature of HN itself. It's at /noobstories.
- csallen 13y agoThey're stories submitted by newly-created accounts.
- ddinh 13y agoIt appears to be a page of stories with new users. Possibly intended as a quasi-response to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7445761 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7445761 ?
- networked 13y agoNot a response to that story but I accidentally discovered /noobstories while searching for a link to the feature suggestion thread for a comment in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7445761 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7445761. I then discovered https://news.ycombinator.com/lists https://news.ycombinator.com/lists while skimming the feature suggestion thread. Funny how I missed those two for years despite finding four out the six things on /lists individually. Is /lists linked to from a static page on HN?
- patmcguire 13y agoWow, noobstories are awful https://news.ycombinator.com/noobstories https://news.ycombinator.com/noobstories
- plorkyeran 13y agoIt's the leftmost link in the footer.
- networked 13y agoNow that's embarrassing. Apparently I never bothered clicking that link. Maybe "User/comment lists" would have been more encouraging, if a bit clumsy-looking.
- pedalpete 13y agoIt's all posts by new users only (hence the green user name)
