In case anyone is wondering, what motivated me to submit this was simply the fact that while I've known about this section forever, a quick poll of people I know who visit HN revealed that it wasn't common knowledge.

I have no idea why this and other sections (https://news.ycombinator.com/lists) aren't linked from the main page in a prominent visible manner - especially /best which is great for people like me who check in every few days.

https://news.ycombinator.com/leaders is another fun page that used to be on the header a couple of years ago.

Also, I have a simple site that tries to take a snapshot of the HN front page every hour so that I can catch up if I'm away for a few days: http://hackerslide.com/

Oh cool! I'm on HN pretty constantly and a quick slide showed me that I'm not on quite as always as I thought.

Nice idea.

I used to go to http://hckrnews.com to get a similar list, but this seems to use a different algorithm.

I haven't been to the Hacker News homepage for a long time since using hckrnews. Its such a nice way to get a quick overview of the day.

Also https://news.ycombinator.com/over?points=256

How did you find that? I've been using HN for a while, and lurking even longer, but never stumbled across that.

I honestly don't remember. Maybe some thread like this one. Or some googling.

Now, if we only had this comments within threads...

Neat - I completely forgot about this. If anyone's interested in these different views on top of HN I created http://yahnr.com/ a while ago that just shows the top stories by vote from the past 24 hours, updated every 15 minutes.

I mostly did it as a way to generate a "pseudo-static" site that is entirely hosted on S3 with a job that just dumps JSON files to it every 15 mins.

Thanks for pointing this out. I never knew about Best and Lists. :)

It's the first link in the footer.

Thank you. I've never heard of that either

Agree. I had no idea.
