I would love an additional date-categorised view of HB.
Since I doubt the layout is likely to get such a major
change, the next best thing would be a roundup of the
past
week.
Ideally these digests would be named so that it's easy to
search and get a date ordered list back. I'm not about
to
create a bunch of test ideas just to confirm the sort
order,
so maybe someone knows how the search works already?
Any volunteers? My idea of an ideal candidate would be
someone who reads every day, has a concise writing
style,
isn't tied up with writing lots of new ideas and is
relatively
"objective" in terms of selecting and describing others'
ideas and annotations.

I think I ended up sending out 3 before I tailed off...or was it 2...either way, it didn't last long. [zen_tom, May 18 2012]

Hmm, I tried this a while back - and as much as I'd
have like to have met your criteria, it's tricky, and
more than a little work. |

Nothing to stop you collecting user ids/email
addresses (opt in rules apply etc) and writing out
something yourself. |
|

I'd just like to be able to vote on annotations. It's
the only thing that makes facebook bearable. |

Look at the bottom of the Home Page "overview" screen. There is an "Edit" option. You can exercise quite a bit of control over the lists of items displayed, and even save it under an alternate name than "overview". If you do pick an alternate name, it will appear in the left-side menu, alphabetized in the same group as "overview". Then just modify your browser bookmark to pick whichever you want as the default page you see first. |

Enzymes might help with the digests. |

Bloody good idea, [bigsleep]. I'm loath to ask for
something like that, officially, because the HB is a
work of love by the owner. There is no incentive for
[jutta] to maintain it, apart from watching a crowd of
disaffected, insomniac idiots insult each other 24/7. |

Hmm. Five years ago, [zen_tom] counted 5457 users.
I just checked and only come up with 2855. What
happened? Perhaps the original count was off
somehow (maybe by searching for instances of "user"
in the HTML, which appears roughly twice as often as
there are actual users?). Either that, or there was
some sort of apocalyptic half-reckoning that took
place. |

There is another possibility with respect to ways to implement this Idea. Each HB Idea has a title field, a subtitle field, and a main text field. What if a "summary" or "abstract" or "synopsis" field was added? Then each author could create an appropriate summary, and readers who only wanted to see summaries could edit their "overview" page to do that. |

There already is a "summary" field—the one you refer
to as the subtitle. Of course, it's not always used for
the intended purpose... |
