Oooh this link should totally go into the bar at the top of the screen.

I am often anxious about missing some important piece of news and it makes me keep reading, feeding my HN "addiction". If I knew I could just come back later and check yesterday's new I would feel a lot less compelled to finish reading the front page before it expires.

If we did that, what should the label be?

  'Yesterday' for only a link to the previous day or 'Archive' for a list of past dates.

I would also like to have this functionality readily available! :)

Maybe something as laconic as "front" would suffice?

That's a good suggestion. But it might be confusing to have a link 'front' on the actual front page. You're there already.

Maybe 'old' or 'older'...I kind of like that by contrast with 'new'.

Yeah, I think you are right.

"Older" would be my choice between those two.

"Recently popular" or "popular yesterday" or just "yesterday", or "the day before".

Those are all too long. Perhaps 'recent'? But then the history goes back all the way, so that's a bit misleading.

I'd prefer "recently" then. Recent works too.
