AI Analysis

●Mid

Nice charts, but you could build this yourself with the Algolia API in an afternoon.

Strengths
  • •12-month moving average smoothing makes trend analysis clearer than raw monthly counts.
  • •Category breakdown by keyword matching shows which tech sectors are hiring over time.
  • •Normalized view accounts for overall HN activity changes across years.
Weaknesses
  • •Keyword-based category assignment is brittle and misses nuanced job postings.
  • •Data visualization only — no actionable insights or alerts beyond what the charts show.

Most Epic Discussions Across Time

You can scan decades of HN culture at a glance — the site lists 'epic' threads with sortable metrics (comments, points, linked/backlinked counts) and year filters, which makes recurring Ask HN threads and news spikes obvious. The UI is minimal and readable, but the product feels like an aggregator rather than analysis: show your grouping methodology, add CSV/JSON export or an API, and this would move from 'handy dashboard' to research tool.
