Wayback HN

Filtered by Year, than First. How nostalgic seeing news like Google buying YouTube or blog posts about MySpace. Kudos for the dead simple interface.

This is very cool. I could lose a lot of time just casually browsing the random day link. One problem I ran into, is the "More" link at the bottom of any past date, links you…

Wow, very cool. I love seeing the leading stories from each year. It kind of reminds me how the industry has evolved.

I am now confused about what year it is, what has recently launched and who has just died. Good job!

Why I love this: there have been a handful times where I vaguely remember a recent post from HN that I want to revisit but I don't remember enough of the exact title to find it…

Amazing. I found the perfect article from 5 years ago thanking PG for making HN so great. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1398250

Not quite a featureset like Wayback Machine...in that going to a certain day will show you top stories ranked by cumulative votes since submission...rather than the algorithmic…

This is great. It seems that the comment counts are off though: go to [0] and look at the top story. It shows 18 comments but [1] only has 15. [0]:…

I believe there is more to it: http://www.waybackhn.com/?date=2009-9 shows 14 comments https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=818157 has 87.

It would be really useful if the links were replaced with archive.org links from the same year. A lot of links are now dead.

Missed opportunity at the Wayhack Machine, but interesting still. What would be very interesting would be to take snapshots by time so you can see the flow of a story throughout…

I agree. If the new one adds hourly it's the clear winner.

One important question: does it make a single snapshot at a certain moment during the day, or does it take multiple snapshots during a day, and combine the most highly rated…

This is so cool. I clicked random month a few times and found the Dropbox launch: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8863 A killer feature would be to change submitted links to…

Very nice, could you avoid resetting the date when the user changes the step size (year/month/day)? Also a datepicker would be nice.

It'd be more user friendly if 'prev' and 'next' button are next to each other. I had fun using this!

Hey Guyz, from where I can download the HN software/theme?

I'm sure there's another site that does this that was a show HN last year. It allowed hourly selection too... Edit: found it, http://hnhistory.net

I made something like this a while ago, and it didn't get nearly as much attention... What made this a "success" on hn compared to mine? http://hnhistory.net Also on GitHub:…

https://hn.algolia.com have the same functionality.

This is like RewindHN.com (created by user https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=kami8845) before it bit the dust. It's open source: https://github.com/doda/rewindhn

Cool! Techmeme has this built-in (http://www.techmeme.com/110619/h1320), would be fun to run them side-by-side!
