Timeless HN – random good HN stories from the past launched on December 27, 2020 with 24 votes, #906 of 3,242 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 5 years on.
In plain words
Timeless HN is a tool that retrieves random stories from Hacker News archives and presents them to users. It allows people interested in technology and programming to discover older discussions and articles that have remained relevant over time. The service pulls from the site's historical content, giving users an alternative way to browse past conversations rather than following the current feed.

Hi HN. I was surprised that there wasn't a feature here that lets you go back in time to the front page of Hacker News on a random day...so I made one. http://randomhackernews.com is a simple HTML page that navigates you to the front page of HN on a random day between today and February 19, 2007 (the oldest date I could find with content). I made this for myself, but figured others may find some interest in it.

It's been a long slow hog and I almost gave up a few times (more than a few) but when covid hit this year it gave me some time to really focus on my product. There were stupid user journey things that I knew needed fixed. There were some features I knew needed added. And I knew the pricing was wrong. I spent some hardcore time working on these things back in March / April and since then my MRR has continued to grow. My product is SongBox (https://songbox.rocks) - it's an alternative to things like bandcamp and soundcloud for creators who need to share audio files privately.…
