I’ve wanted something like this for years. My top requests would be to offer this as a standalone separate site, with sorting in reverse chron order, and an easy way to click into the comments for each story. Right now I can click into the info for the link, and to the outlink, but there doesn’t appear to be a one-click path to the HN comments themselves.
I'm honestly not sure if that's a bad thing. To an extent, it seems like reddit's "sort by controversial". If you're looking for a flamewar, here you go.
It's interesting to see the comments sometimes, but since part of the reason these things get removed is because of the flamewar detector, I feel like I can't be that surprised or edified when I open the bag labeled "manure" to find it is full of shit.
