    You should be able to get to the URL to the article's comment thread on HN.

    It would also be nice to have filters. I particularly want to be able to get a list of only Show HN posts, only Ask HN posts, or only posts that got at least N upvotes.

    Also, it would be nice to have an option to see more results per page. I like to set the number to 100-500 so I don't have to open a giant mass of tabs.

    This is nice, thank you!

    Other people have mentioned some filters. I agree that it'd be really nice to see all "Show HN" posts, or "Ask HN" posts.

    I'd also like a filter like the Lessmeme site (http://lessmeme.com/less.html) which filters out some common domains that get posted to HN.

    It'd be great if these filters could be built into extensions and be used on the regular HN site, I guess.

    I use http://skimhn.com to quickly filter submissions by domain/author/keyword.

    For people who already visit this site maybe notice that it's not well updated as https://news.ycombinator.com/newest.

    Why? Because I put update only for every one hour (respect HN rule)

    Nothing much fancy stuff there yet, since I only want to archives. Soon, I will make "save" button works to collect which posts that may related with my works and interest.

    Or, you could just read the RSS feed: https://news.ycombinator.com/rss

    Cool, though on page 3 it skips from 9 hours ago to 22 hours ago.

    Is there any reason the code is skipping the hours in between?

    I agree with csense points, also, it would be nice to specify how long links will be kept in your site: since you planned this as archive it would make sense to put a limit (let's say, one month) and then give access to links posted "one day ago", "n days ago", "n weeks ago" etc.

    It seems to me that sometimes HN freezes in some posts for days, and they are not specially upvoted compared with other posts that go down, It seems to happen more on weekends. Has anybody noticed this?

    Well done, nice way to respond quickly with a possible solution to the "falling" new post issue.

    for newest I think http://hckrnews.com/ is doing the best job
