Ask HN: website for viewing hackernews on weekly mode

14 pointsxtimesninety12 comments

I browse hackernews and reddit on a weekly basis (usually weekends when I can focus on reading). The (slight) problem I have on HN is that it doesn't have a weekly view, so some really good submissions end up on the 5th page or later. Reddit has this and I'd like to ask if there is already a website that does this for hackernews. If not, I'll try doing it :)

View on HN

How to define good submission?

I just created a web app that actually track every number one story from HN in the database - http://hn.siong1987.com .

It has only one top story right now because I just created it. So, hopefully, it will record down every number one story from HN from now on if there is no bug in the web app.

You should de-dup. For same idea in RSS, use http://feeds.feedburner.com/HNWatrcoolr

Maybe I should introduce RSS in the web app too. But, I like http://feeds.feedburber.com/HNWatrcoolr

But, it is not a directory that collects all the top stories. Anyway, Google Reader will cache them all in their databases too. So, Google Reader can actually serve as the directory for the RSS.

Feel free to link to it from the Web app :)

Would be far more useful if you prune duplicates and segment the log into 4 sections "today, last week, last month, older".

Like the concept though.

I just pruned all the duplicates right now. Will work on the today, last week, last month sections tonight.

For a feed of all the #1 HN stories, use http://feeds.feedburner.com/HNWatrcoolr

For more top stories from hacker feeds, use http://hacker.watrcoolr.us/ (feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/HackerWatrCoolr)

You can have a look at the Lists: http://news.ycombinator.com/lists, and Ask YC Archive (weekly): http://ask.searchyc.com/, for a recap.

The 'Lists' are cool! Where did you find those? I've never seen them, and I can't seem to find a link anywhere on the site.

'Lists' -- the bottom-left link on the main page.

cool! i think this will do it!

just an update: I created something that does this: http://hnweekly.watdahel.com
