Pretty much the only way I ever browse HN! At least with sorting by time I'm more organized about my procrastination. Big thanks to the creator(s?)!

Right, this one and http://www.hnreplies.com/ make HN useful.

That looks really useful! Both of these are closed source I guess?

100% this. It's the best way to keep up with HN without having to worry about popularity re-ordering and posts falling off the front page.

Concur. Hacker News without hckrnews.com would only be about half as useful.

How old is this? It's still using the old Chrome, Firefox, and Safari icons from pre-2011. Though, it is a testament to HN that it still works.

I've been using this since 2012 I think.

One of the best parts of this interface is a modicum of oversight and moderation transparency. While it's not perfect, many flagged and killed articles are visible in hckrnews, informing us about the biases of moderators and high-karma users. This isn't enough to bring us up to par with Slashdot or Lobsters, but it helps.

Been using this for years this is the only way I can browse HN and not miss anything. Great work

This rocks! How do I get the last visit to show up. I tried to close and reopen

If there's no new posts, it won't show up. It's also not stateful across browsers.

I've exclusively used hckrnews to browse this site for at least a year or two now, switched immediately after first reading about it. It's great and I would recommend it to anybody

Same. It also lets me see the controversial stuff at a glance, which is often interesting, even if it is rightly flagged.

I've been using it for more than five years as a first stop on my way in to HN posts.

Big fan of the hckrnews interface!

Unsure if I could have gotten as much value out of HN without it.

One UI request I have is add ‘bottom %’ values.

The ‘top %’ values are great to get a quick look at whats trending but most of my favorite HN material is the niche stuff that always has low numbers but high quality.

Right now I just do ‘All’ looking through each listing self filtering the big ticket items.

The best
