Ask HN: A news reader that will give you today 30 years ago As a little bit of fun to add to the day with the coffee it would be interesting to subscribe to something like comp.lang.lisp but get what was posted at some period in the past. For example, tomorrow august the 7th my feed would show posts for August the 7th 1988.
I have a feeling it may be something I would have to do myself as a nostalgia project but I wonder if someone may have addressed it already? |
Although the detail is less the further back you go. You may need to drop to looking at the entire month or the entire year depending on how far back you go.
As the messages are all in just text format with headers and timestamps I should just be able to extract the messages from a particular day and add them to my news reader, worst case changing the timestamp to today to have it appear in a sensible place and putting the original timestamp back where it can be seen when reading.
