So how does it work?
drag the 'HN heatmap' link to your bookmarks bar, go to HN frontpage, click the bookmarklet, enjoy. It's basically just the visualization for now.
By the way, your heatmap download contains a .png that takes up 99% of the size. I'd suggest taking it out.
Is there a reason it seems to highlight at random?

Love the site design, has some serious impact. Any tools/software used when doing that design or was it just notepad? By the way, your heatmap download contains a .png that takes up 99% of the size. I'd suggest taking it out.
Look cool, two comments: - The heatmap is sometimes off some pixels, see http://imgur.com/FyqOG - It's not possible to click links any more after applying the heatmap. This basically makes it useless, as you have to refresh to page in order to click a popular link.
thanks for the feedback, I should probably gather the row height of HN dynamically instead of having a hardcoded value that seems to work for my devices g You should be able to click on the links again after closing the heatmap (there's a little x on the right upper corner of the heatmap control that makes the heatmap disappear)
I think that being able to click directly on the heatmap instead of having to close it first, and therefore not losing your visual aid, will be a big improvement.
Anyway, nice job.
P.S. I also have a problem with the height of the rows, tested both with Chrome and Firefox on W7.
Nice concept, unfortunately you get some strange results if you apply it to the new page (where I think it would have a much better use): http://i.imgur.com/afSPm.jpg Is there a reason it seems to highlight at random?

Script is here (hope that's OK to link to!):
Frankly speaking, I have some similar idea the other day, what i thought then was to collect the top news.
I have the habits to read HN news everyday, mostly through my smartphone. News with more comments (>100 is hot) usually get more attentions. And I will bookmark news with more than 100 or 200 comments.
So thank you for your nice work, it will certainly make my life more easy~
