Nice site, slick. Not sure what use the data has to me, but I don't make posts, so that's my fault. It would be nice if the chart would move down or something when you select a post that's lower in the rankings. I had to scroll back to the top after clicking one of the bottom posts.

That’s a good idea; shouldn’t be terribly hard to implement

it's easy:

1. add `position: relative;` to `main-container`

2. add `position: sticky; top: 0;` to `graph-container`

you need to figure out what to do in the mobile display though

Looking at the charts they all seem to take off. To me that begs the question, do they take off because they hit the front-page and get all the attention, or are some of them bought upvotes like on Reddit?

Isn't this because upvotes "early" are worth more than upvotes later?

Are you sure this data is correct ? There is a listing of the "Most Upvoted Story" at 390, but I feel like I have seen regularly items higher than that. One example I see today is : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44174965 with 393.

If I understand correctly it does only show stats for the current frontpage (aka top 30). So it's the "Most Upvoted Story (on the frontpage right now)".
