HN stories cited most in comments
The site surfaces an underrated signal — links mentioned inside comments rather than top-ranked posts — which reveals recurring conversation magnets (e.g., recurring 'Ask HN' threads and enduring news links). The UI exposes useful filters (comments, points, discussed, linked, backlinked, and year epochs) and a dated snapshot, but there’s no obvious methodology page or CSV/API export, so researchers will want provenance and raw data access before trusting the rankings.
