I don't get it. What am I looking at?

Even after this comment I did not get it until I checked the repo[0]. It seems like it's only posts with a prime number ID

Also, the "Why?" does not explain why. It's a what/how.

Reason enough I’d say.

The documentation is here: https://github.com/DOSAYGO-STUDIO/prime-news

Basically only HN items with prime IDs and with filters on different classes of primes.

Post investigation, I can say that it shows in an ordered manner hackernews posts whose IDs are prime.

No ?
