/highlights isn't on https://news.ycombinator.com/lists – is that intentional?

I knew this existed, and I was looking for it a few weeks ago; it's an interesting page to browse through every once in a while. But I just couldn't remember the name until now.

Having a "highlight" people can't find doesn't seem much of a "highlight" to me?

View on HN

No, I just forgot.

Edit: it's there now.

Edit 2: I feel like adding an "I feel lucky" link on there that would give you a random sample from the list. It's in reverse chronological order and it would take quite a while to scroll back through all of the comments (there are over 400 at present).

I was wondering how I could have browsed to /lists and /highlights and eventually found the first one in the footer of the page. May I suggest to add /highlights there as well? Maybe just after FAQ and before Lists?

It would make the footer too long. /lists is there as basically a &rest pointer to everything else.

How about a link with reverse chronology of random highlights, one per year of HN history?

This could inspire nominations for the highlights back catalog.

Nice idea!
