I went on vacation...wheres the front page HN stuff?
Went abroad for two weeks. Now that Im back I want to see all the good HN articles i missed over the last couple weeks. Any idea how?
Can I view articles that received over x points?

- nbrochu 16y agohttp://hnrecap.com http://hnrecap.com Only considers entries that made it to the front page and ranks them according to their position every 2 minutes. Archiving since August 4, 2010.
- RiderOfGiraffes 16y agoHow do you compute the points for the items?
- nbrochu 16y agoI kept it simple: Reverse order = Number of points i.e. #3 on front page = 28 pts etc. Points are accrued every time a snapshot of the front page is taken. There is a flaw with this system in that outside of peak hours, some less important item might hang around the front page a little longer and earn a too many points but I feel that it still works well enough to catch up with HN Content.
- RiderOfGiraffes 16y agoHah. Neat. Thanks for the reply. I've book-marked your page. Not sure I'll use it, but it's worth keeping.
- Terretta 16y agoThe actual point values seem wildly meaningless, perhaps you shouldn't even display them. For a minute there, I thought you were summing the article points and the total points of all comments, which would be an interesting ranking as well.
- RiderOfGiraffes 16y agoRespectfully, I disagree. The points are clearly correlated with how high the item gets, and how long it stays on the front page. As such, I think the ranking is of value. It also has the merit of being simple to compute, and easy to explain. Elegant.

- RiderOfGiraffes 16y agoAh - how do items ever lose their points?
- RiderOfGiraffes 16y agoAh! I see! They get throw away and restarted every day.
