Several years back, I did this - it was called HackerSlide. A sliding bar with a few days worth of hours, slide it and the front page automatically updated - see <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;peterc.org&#x2F;blog&#x2F;wp-content&#x2F;uploads&#x2F;2010&#x2F;10&#x2F;hackerslide.png" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;peterc.org&#x2F;blog&#x2F;wp-content&#x2F;uploads&#x2F;2010&#x2F;10&#x2F;hackerslid...</a><p>And.. no-one was really that interested. I used it every now and then to catch up but when HN moved to the new API I didn&#x27;t bother updating it (although it would be trivial to do so if anyone were interested).
