There was a fun similar thing for Reddit on https://www.reddit.com/r/TenYearsAgoOnReddit/ (and https://www.reddit.com/r/FiveYearsAgoOnReddit/), sadly it stopped posting ~9 months ago.

Is it possible to use the search API to create something like this for HN?

Create a bookmarklet of this:

    let d = new Date()
    d.setFullYear(d.getFullYear() - 10)
    location.href = `https://news.ycombinator.com/front?day=${d.getFullYear()}-${d.getMonth() + 1}-${d.getDate()}`

Unless it's ten years past a leap year!

If it's Feb 29 then you know for sure it isn't 10 years past a leap year, since they are every four years.

There's another one called /r/vintageviral. It's not as strict but tracks well-known 9+ year old videos.
