great!

potomak• 15 years ago

why there's no menu link for this?

nakkiel2• 15 years ago

There is. Look at the top of the main page.

mkr-hn• 15 years ago

The link is only there when you're on the page. It's not much use if you need to know the page URL in advance for the link to appear.

nakkiel2• 15 years ago

It's been there for about a week IIRC.

Edit: well, it looks like the link is not always present. Is it being A/B tested or something?

danohuiginn• 15 years ago

It's always been there. well, for many months at least.

I suspect it's easier for pg to implement features than to introduce and document them, and there's not really an obvious place to find them. That is, not unless you want to dive into the source.

I'm surprised there aren't more 'hidden features of HN' blogposts floating around. If anybody wants a quick and honest way to slurp up some karma, they should write one.

Actually, this is really old[1] but gets reported all the time by noobs.

Anyone aware of "easter egg" links on HN - something not listed in the "lists"?

andrewreds• 15 years ago

the lists page is not listed on the lists page

pmjordan• 15 years ago

Well, there's http://news.ycombinator.com/classic though it's not really a list, more of an alternate front page.

riffraff• 15 years ago

offers used to exist but it seems it died some months ago

Groxx• 15 years ago

I can't remember what the "over=value" filter was, and haven't had much luck in guessing it. Anyone know it off-hand? It's not on the lists page.

I use this script: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/58915

Thanks to pwlin for making this script

If this link gets upvoted enough it will be on the best of list, and then we won't forget about it...

BrandonM• 15 years ago

Meh... It's really just "recent popular hn articles."

mv• 15 years ago

All the articles listed there have been in the last few weeks. It would be nice to see an all time best of list.

Maybe look at the upvotes vs registered users at the time? That way an article way back with 100 upvotes would be able to compete with a current one with 500.

All-time top-vote list for submissions: http://top.searchyc.com/submissions_by_points

projectileboy• 15 years ago

This is nice, but it would be really nice if the scores could be normalized against the mean of the top 10 front page scores on the date submitted (or some such). pg, would this be possible?

I used to use news.ycombinator.com/best , but I now follow HN using Jeff Miller's RSS feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/newsyc100

Pros: I never miss anything. Google Reader keeps track of what I already read.

Cons: It's hard to keep up with all the articles!

Jeff created RSS and Twitter feeds for 20+, 50+, 100+, and 150+ karma submissions.
