or "past".

Ok, we'll go with that for now.

I rejected it originally because there are already 'past' links on thread pages that point to HN Search, but perhaps those meanings are compatible.

I think it works well. The context seems clear to me, since the top text is time-based.

Thanks for the reordering also.

I like both of these options (more than "more")

It’s neither past nor old but rather it shows the full current day first. Rather top posted grouped by day. So maybe a new ‘top’ IMO.

Or call it 'archive' may be!

or 'history' ;-)

Since it looks up a specific day, how about “pastdays”.

I think they’re trying to keep each nav item a single word.

“Days”?
Re:New ‘past’ link on HN front page by DoreenMichele on Saturday February 23, 2019 @02:27PM (#19235035)
I like it. But it seems to default to today's date with options to readily explore "this date in history."

So I will suggest: Date

Alternately, I will suggest Top since it defaults to Stories from (today's date), ordered by how long they were on the front page.

Hopefully if enough people toss out suggestions, one will turn out to be a real improvement over more.

Maybe Explore?
