Lol. According to HN, Chrome should be the world's top browser. http://hntrends.jerodsanto.net/?q=safari%2C+firefox%2C+inter... -or- http://hntrends.jerodsanto.net/?q=safari%2C+firefox%2C+IE%2C... (with "IE")

Great site by the way. Nice job.

Some rather social search terms:

I don't understand why "they" doesn't occur. Maybe a bug?

On an IPad1 the charts render so slowly it's watching a race between brightly colored snakes. Very suspenseful. Please do normalize the results.

The charts are SVG and iOS's implementation of SVG is stupid slow.

It works great on the iPad 2' with animations and everything

I asked it about ios and android and it broke :( http://hntrends.jerodsanto.net/?q=ios%2C+android

Should be back now. I had to restart the heroku process. Sadly, no indication why it crashed :/

You may find this to be a more useful comparison: http://hntrends.jerodsanto.net/?q=iphone%2C+android

Idle speculation: Wouldn't it be cool if we plotted a user's total karma next to the trend of their name and it turned out to look like an integral?

Yes, this is another HN resource that I forgot to mention. In fact, I just discovered last week and decided to sign up. I really enjoyed it - keep up the good work!
