I've wondered about making the opposite, that is, a view that sorts by controversy.
There are quite a few things that get posted here that quickly get votes, quite a few comments, but are soon killed/massively down-ranked by flags. Sometimes it would be interesting to be able to see what these are if you don't see them in the hour or two that they're visible. I know they're often controversial social or political topics and that HN doesn't really want them, but they can still be interesting to look at.

You might want to have a look at https://hckrnews.com - it shows all stories that ever were on the frontpage, ordered by time of first appearance on the frontpage.
