Hi Alex, Thank you for the feedback and #23 on a weekend day is very impressive! I found there are a couple of those small improvements that make HN significantly easier and more pleasant to read. Good to hear that the red names are not too

The creator of https://hackerdaily.io here! The reason for a timezone specific RSS feed is because, like the site itself, the RSS feed only updates once a day at midnight. And _when_ the day changes depends on the timezone. Ther

This happened in the sixties, during and after the six-day war between Israel and Egypt. Therefore I think a movie could be made out of this story any day now.

That’s a great idea! I’ll think about how to summarize this even further.

Thank you! I would love to hear from you on what could be improved.

I’m building some projects to slow the internet down. 1. A less addictive Hacker News ( https://hackerdaily.io ) 2. A brief overview of yesterday’s world events ( https://abriefhistoryofyesterday.com )

Yes, the 'Health and environment' section is quite overwhelming, mostly due to COVID-19. That's why I close each section initially, this way you open only the sections that interest you. I modify the tree from Wikipedia sligh

https://abriefhistoryofyesterday.com News in the digital age updates constantly. No matter what, there is always some "breaking news". This causes news sites to become more of a slot machine than a substantive source o

Ok, I added a quick shortcut. You can now go to a specific date by just going to that page, for example, the page for exactly a month ago is https://hackerdaily.io/2020-11-29 . My database goes back to roughly the start of O

Do you mean a page to show all AskHN/ShowHN posts? Because it already shows all the posts (including AskHN/ShowHN) with more than 100 points.

It is indeed a hard problem. For Hacker News I've made the assumption that I can trust the HN community to find the best posts, so they're the filter. I only sort on the score of all posts in a single day and show the posts with a

Thanks for the great feedback! I just deployed a version with reduced margins between paragraphs in a comment and I'm gonna look into how to improve the comment metadata in a less obtrusive way.

Thanks for your feedback! I indeed designed HackerDaily explicitly with smaller columns in mind. The reason for this is that it makes reading longer comments a lot easier. There has been quite a bit of research done to figure out what the o

Not a dumb question at all! To keep the site as lightweight as possible, I only use CSS to enable dakr mode. This is done by using prefers-color-scheme.[1] So you can only enable dark mode by enabling it either on your computer/phone o

Thank you for your honest feedback! I quickly added a page with a darker background[1], is this more readable? If not I might need to increase the spacing between the items. [1] https://hackerdaily.io/darker

Thank you for your kind words! Dark mode is set using only CSS, by using prefers-color-scheme.[1] So if you've enabled dark mode on your computer/phone, the website should automatically turn dark. [1] https://developer.
