Need for Persistent Curated Comment Views
Problem
Users want to save and revisit curated comment sets on Hacker News, with archive-like prompts to re‑curate over time. The current tool only offers one‑time filtering without persistent or interactive re‑curating capabilities.
Pain points
- Desire to save curated comment sets for later viewing
- Desire for archive‑style prompts to re‑curate
- Lack of persistent or interactive re‑curating mechanisms
Questions to verify
- Would you like the system to save curated comment sets and provide archive prompts for later viewing?
- How would you use a Wayback‑Machine‑style archival feature for curated comments?
- How satisfied are you with the current curation management on HN?

Neat! Had to loginwall curation today?Does it re-curate for everybody every time? Would be interesting if it were a little more like the Wayback machine (if somebody already curated, just show that set of curated comments), with a prompt like archive.today (“this thread curated X hours/N comments ago—re-curate?”)
