Products that do what CheckHN – A checklist for the most popular Hacker News posts does
I realized that I'm more interested in the all-time top content on Hacker News than in whatever is popular right now. To better keep track of which posts I've already read, I built a small web app that displays all posts sorted by popularity and allows me to check them off or save them for later.
