I've long since wanted to make it easier to find uncommon content on HN. Many popular posts hide the less mainstream ones. Rather than complain, I made Hackerer.news. It has also allowed me to spend less time on the site playing dopamine roulette as it appears far more static when not sorted by age + score.
The first version displayed two columns per day: Niche & Popular split by number of votes. Both lists were still quite long and trending content still shaded other posts.
This v2 update shows a single list of one day sectioned by tags. The tags were manually[0] defined to separate out current trending content. Clicking on the date cycles: today -> yesterday -> older. I expect to continually update the tags to group frequent posts on trending topics.

Comments wanted and any/all feedback welcome.
