Can not click the point to view all the relative articles, but, it's sort like painting and counting looks so cute, ^_^

#103first of all, very cool. how is it normalized? every single thing I type in has an upward trend, which to me just suggests that interest in Hacker News has increased over the last few years... and I don't really need a chart to tell me that since I live in silicon valley :)
Just an update to let you know that the site now accounts for HN's growth. I used retube's suggested adjustment scheme. Let me know what you think!

#104Hi, I created a similar tool using the search API, but with lniks to the top stories (by points) over time

Feel free to take that idea if you like, I think it's interesting not just to see the shape of the trend but also the stories which created the peaks.

#105Nice work! I had the same exact idea for the contest and bought the hntrend.com domain 2 weeks ago, too bad I was too lazy to finish it :)

It uses submission titles AND comments. How would you suggest going about normalization?
In that case I would do it by number of submissions (posts) + number of comments for each period (3 months I think, looking at your graphs?). I would normalised all quarters to the last complete quarter. So if say in q1 2011 there were 1m posts + comments, and in q1 2007 10k, multiply the count for q1 2007 by 100. It would be truly great to have this normalisation optional, e.g option to normalise by comment+post cou…
A first version of this has been implemented. You can't toggle the normalizations just yet, but I figured I should get the fix out there as soon as I could.

#108Awesome tool, but just a heads up: I tried searching for "C" and "C++", and it gave me the exact same line each time.
