I tried doing something like this a while ago. But HN kept blocking my IP after a few days of screen scraping. How did you get past that rate limit?

I am using the bigrss feed as described in the latest post: http://ycombinator.com/newsnews.html

I wish it gave out the points the article had... does your data track that or just the position?

Python, Django, jQuery and Highcharts

... which I had just discovered on your effective and well-designed alt-resume page: http://marcneuwirth.com/projects/ I love how you have thumbnail links to each project next to icons of the languages/frameworks/tools you used to build them.

Also like the resume site. Would be nice to see a small description of the project under the title.

Just the position unfortunately, I would need to scrape the site itself in order to get comments and points info. It would be awesome if that data was added to the RSS feed

I really like this. It would be interesting to be able to focus in on a region of the y-axis to see the spread more clearly, or a log scale option.

You should be able to click and drag on the graph to select a rectangular zoom region

Thanks, I appreciate it. Descriptions are on my TODO list, but have been on the back burner in favor of more projects. I will have to bump up their priority.

Creator here, I would love to hear any feedback you all have. I also have around 3 months worth of historical data if anyone is interested or has a cool idea.
