Hacker News Reader

Comment by mdszy | Hacker News Reader

I fail to see how this is "hacker" "news".

What to Submit

On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

I do find this post amazing, totally on-topic

I find it on-topic because every time someone submits an archiving project like Neocities, there's always someone scoffing and saying 'burn it all down, throw it away, who cares, it's all worthless; this is better off forgotten'. And yet, look what a treasure trove a child's drawings have become for linguists.

HN has matured as much more than just "hacker news". Everything that is interesting as a place here and I hope it continues to be like that for a very long time.

Be the change you want to see, I guess. Feel free to submit the next yawnfest about Haskell or JavaScript frameworks and let the community decide.

Interesting history, like this here is, is a topic that appears regularly on HN.

I find things like this much more compelling than the history where you have to learn various dates of events by heart!

using the birch bark as an inkless writing material seems like a pretty good hack

In terms of data retention it's actually amazing.

And it has negative carbon footprint.
