Thanks, love it! One thing that is missing (for me) is to select the duration for the graph. And another thing I found, that reddit[0] has an absolutely weird 100% spike. You maybe want to look into this.

    Thanks for the suggestion, yes a good idea! Aha, yes, I've spotted that with Reddit, and it is actually true as appose to a bug, as there's something like just one post back in 2016, and it mentions, thus, 100% popularity. I'll add some other metrics to the page soon.

      Also couldn't find on your page where you source the "top books" from. These are just affiliate links (completely okay with it) and don't show statistics why this is a top book.

        It's a static list ordered by the number of mentions of all time. I plan to make this dynamic in the future and allow ordering by total score and filtering by time range. Also, I'd like to add separate pages for each book showing the stats and reviews, and maybe some form of sentiment analysis would be cool.

Great site. Minor nit - the book "The Dictator's Handbook" is listed twice in the books section.

Looks great!

Just checking, do you use stop words (removing “the”, “an” etc)? Can also add “its”.

    Cheers! Yes, I already have 'it's' and 'it’s', but that one escaped! Added now.

Cool! I like the books feature.

    Thanks! Same; I've been coming to HN for books to read for years and finally got them in one place. I plan to extend the functionality there in the future :D

Love the responsive ui on mobile and how quick it is!

  • tudorw 3 years ago

    if only every site was this responsive, we have 5g etc, but design seems to have bloated to the degree many experiences are less fluid than 10 years ago...

very neat, slick graphing, and useful to boot :)
