It would be good to be able to run a search, or have SN indexed in some way, so that double posts can be avoided.
Have been looking for this also, for the same reason..
I also find myself looking for the the "top of (day/week/month/year/all-time)" sort feature... don't think hackernews has this though..

Yeah, I would also like "Top of week" feature.
Maybe it's a good idea to not have "all-time", since that would encourage weird competition.

Considering how this could work. You could have a new "nav-item" called "top" or "popular" and under that would be 2 dropdowns that user can choose from
- Popular: Today, This week, This month, This year
- Created: [Today], Any time The Created would have 2 options, the first one would match your "Popular" selection and the other would be "Any time". The selection for both would be nice to persist on client (e.g. localStorage).
This serves 2 purposes, sometimes you just want to see the freshly created news only. And sometimes you want to see what has been boosted recently. This may be a bit harder to grasp by just reading this definition, but try playing with it in action, it becomes intuitive ;) @k00b FYI.

I'll toy around with this.
I have a github issue tracking sorting (as requested by another user) https://github.com/stackernews/stacker.news/issues/15
I'll drop a link to this comment in there.

Agreed, need to add this to gh.
