Slow-proofed and worth the wait. Worth its weight in flour.
Summary
This is a discussion thread from Hacker News where users share and discuss various alternative views and features of the Hacker News platform. Users mention different URL endpoints like /newest, /classic, /active, and other lists that provide different perspectives on content, such as posts voted by older accounts, controversial topics, and chronological views. The discussion includes recommendations for third-party readers and tools that support these alternative views.

The classic 'Frontpage as voted by ancient accounts' list has me intrigued.
My HN reader supports all those /* urls. (Plus chronological order from HckrNews!)
I like /active personally which will show controversial topics.
