How Social Media is Built for Addiction

I don't like how Reddit only shows the user top posts for past 24 hours or past week. It means one can't easily not look at it today and see what one missed today tomorrow.

Web news is generally like this, making it hard to see yesterday's stories today. That's one reason my preferred news source is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events

You can look at previous HN front pages. Here's yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/front?day=2017-05-24.

(We count 'day' using UTC so there's overlap with today depending on where you are.)

The article sets of adjacent days intersect. A merging query of recent days would be helpful. Viz:

    query-front-pages-recent --numdays 7 |
        sort --key=HN_priority | uniq
