Nice site. Not that it matters but I'm always curious, what's it built with?
Python, Django, jQuery and Highcharts

#33Creator 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.
Perhaps a log scale on the y-axis would improve readability?

Any reason?

#35Earlier quoted context omitted.
Python, Django, jQuery and Highcharts
FYI, we run an app that used to use Highcharts too, but we discovered flot and never looked back: http://code.google.com/p/flot/ Wanted to share in case that's useful to you, too! (In particular, it will come in handy if you ever need to develop a web app for commercial purposes, as Highcharts has a tricky licensing scheme for web apps.)
gRaphael looks a lot more customizable.

#36- Changed the graph to a log scale
- Added the ability to compare multiple stories from the list, you can also query them directly in the url like: http://hnrankings.info/4055256,4056649/
- Added timestamp to the tooltip
A search feature and some long term stats are next on my list

#37Curious, when I look at the graph for this very item, the updates stop a couple of hours ago: http://hnrankings.info/4058277/ Any reason?

Some feedback: the graph no longer fits on my screen vertically - the bottom gets lost. Granted, I don't have a huge screen here, but the previous version fitted nicely.
Added in edit: I see you've fixed that now - thanks.

#39One interesting use for the data may be trending user stats - showing karma points from submissions and comments by day or week.
