About swenrekcah
swenrekcah shows popularity-ranked Hacker News stories organized by day.
The problem: If you don't visit Hacker News at least once a day, interesting stories scroll off the front page and you miss them. swenrekcah solves this by ranking each day's stories by popularity (points) and letting you browse by day — so you can always catch up on what you missed.
How it works
Each day, HN stories are fetched and ranked by their popularity (points). You can browse by day using Previous/Next navigation, or filter stories by their rank: top 10, top 20, top 50%, or view everything from that day. This gives you a historical view of what was popular on any given day.
Why "swenrekcah"?
It's "Hacker News" spelled backwards. It's also the sound you make when someone mentions a great HN story you completely missed.
Data comes from the official Hacker News API. Stories are captured when they reach the HN homepage and stored in a database for historical browsing. This is an unofficial project — not affiliated with Y Combinator or Hacker News.
