marcneuwirth··on Hacker News Rankings - interactive graphs of an item's fate
Thanks, good catch. Something weird happened with memcached when I resized the server. Restarting the service fixed it

Updated:

- 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

Sorry, I had resized the instance. It should be good now

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.

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

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

Python, Django, jQuery and Highcharts

Your project looks awesome, are you just scraping the homepage directly?

Great suggestions, thanks

Fixed the .org domain, thanks for pointing that out.

You actually _can_ look at up to the past 12 hours if you change the URL manually, but I have found the graph to be less useful from 6-12 hours

How much data were you looking at when the iPad crashed? I use this daily on the new iPad and havent experienced any problems unless there was a ton of data on the screen

Good idea, I will definitely put that in

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

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.

I was just looking into the same thing. It looks like both stories dropped way down the rankings at approximately the same time last night

marcneuwirth··on Show HN: Tracking HN rankings over time
I built this site as a weekend project to teach myself Django. It turned out to be a pretty interesting way to visually view how stories rise and fall on HN over the course of the day.

I am planning to do some more analysis of the data soon and add more features to the site. Any suggestions of useful metrics would be helpful.

You can also just type the view-source url directly into the address bar: view-source:http://www.kurlak.com/john/source.html
marcneuwirth··on Ask HN: What are your side projects?
Thanks! That's an interesting idea, I'll have play around with ThinkUp a little bit and figure out how they can be integrated together
marcneuwirth··on Ask HN: What are your side projects?
http://socialcens.us is a side project I've been working on a little. It is a pretty simple app that aggregates a bunch of data from all of your facebook friends and gives you a nice report. Also, a nice excuse to use Mongodb.
