Show HN: I made Google Trends for Hacker News by indexing 18 years of comments

Hello HN,

This was a small project of mine after I've found out that I can simply the whole hackernews archive (~48GB) and play around with it.

You can compare terms just like in google trends and you can also see the exact posts & comments from that time.

I like that you can discover what went crazy in the timeline, they just come up as small burst of activity, it's quite fun to play around with it. https://hackernewstrends.com/?q=litecoin&q=dogecoin&q=solana...

I also have a seperate page for the "Who is Hiring?" posts, here is the distribution of programming languages over each monthly "Who is hiring?" post in HN ever. https://hackernewstrends.com/who-is-hiring

Any kind of feedback is welcome.

Woah, great work!

I am really liking the trend for "linux": https://hackernewstrends.com/?q=linux

Funny how closely that tracks with windows

This is the only HN submission I ever upvoted because it is amazing

Very cool!

I'd love to have some sort of normalization option to separate more subtle positive trends from the general increase in number of posts.
