About to hit issue #52 and 3000 subscribers with my weekly Hacker Newsletter project - http://www.hackernewsletter.com

Yes, this is another HN resource that I forgot to mention. In fact, I just discovered last week and decided to sign up. I really enjoyed it - keep up the good work!

Thanks and glad to hear that!

I like the animation, but it will be an improvement if the chart max stays and not jump up and down

The problem with that is that I have no idea what range the terms queried will be in beforehand. Any ideas how to accomplish this?

we may be in a bubble about talking about a bubble: http://hntrends.jerodsanto.net/?q=bubble

Hah, I think that's a neat way to visually normalize against the traffic increase trend.

These trends are fairly interesting... http://hntrends.jerodsanto.net/?q=pg http://hntrends.jerodsanto.net/?q=y+combinator http://hntrends.jerodsanto.net/?q=pg%2C+tptacek%2C+patio11%2... http://hntrends.jerodsanto.net/?q=2007%2C+2008%2C+2009%2C+20... http://hntrends.jerodsanto.net/?q=android%2C+iphone vs. http://www.google.com/trends?q=android%2C+iphone&ctab=0&... http://hntrends.jerodsanto.net/?q=show+hn%2C+ask+hn%2…

Idle speculation: Wouldn't it be cool if we plotted a user's total karma next to the trend of their name and it turned out to look like an integral?

For some of us, it will look more like a martingale :-).

You could animate after you've received all the data, then set the Y axis into the max of the values. Anyway, good job! Thanks for sharing.
