Nicely done! I really like the example graphs you give. I'm sure this crowd would appreciate seeing an example graph for Kotlin, Scala, or Rust as well. :-)

The graph part is pretty cool. Is it doable to use this graph for any kind of data? Or maybe someone know a tool to trace similar graphs into a terminal?

Thank you for your work. Really helpful.

Just want to warn others that this didn't display properly in my mobile browser, seemingly due to whitespace/wrapping issues. It looks fine on my desktop.

This looks horrendous on mobile. I can do Request Desktop Site on my mobile browser and it looks better but not perfectly aligned still.

As I mentioned elsewhere, the graphs were a disaster on mobile for me. I'd prefer if they were rendered into PNGs and inlined in the future, perhaps using something like…

Wanted to see more so I installed it. Just throws a "ENOENT no such file or directory, scandir '...\node_modules\hacker-job-trends\assets\rowContents'" Nice graphs though. Source…

The assets are missing [1], just clone the github repo and move the offending directory to '...\node_modules\hacker-job-trends\assets\rowContents' [1]…

Thanks for reporting this, the reason is I ignored the rowContents to npm registry, it is fixed now.

A data dump would have been much nicer, I don't want to have to install a package to basically run grep on a dataset. The tool should only be for updating the dataset.

A RSS feed has been on my todo list, will get that added.

When using multiple keyword with the + and - signs, it graphs the sum of all posts requiring one technology in addition to all posts requiring the other technology. It'd be great…

You can also end up with results like some months having a negative number of posts. I think the intuitive meaning of any arithmetic operators here would be set operations.

This is very cool. Is there a way to adjust search results for total number of posts? By searching for `hjt 'a'`, I can get an idea of how many total posts there are by month and…

Would love to play with the dataset in the browser. I assume it's small enough to load all comments into an array and then let the user run their own queries and ouput the result…

Yeah, row content is about 16mb, This is exactly what I will do in the next step

Good job. Why did you prefer using the HTML format instead of HN API? https://github.com/HackerNews/API

Perhaps because you can request a page of items at a time? For something like this an even better alternative might be the BigQuery dataset:…

Nice work. I've been tracking this data for about 5 years on https://hntrends.com and enjoy seeing others come up with new tools and ways to analyze the data.

Yes, here it is: https://whoishiring.io/

The `full` table has comments up to recently (May 19th). You just have to add a filter on `type = "comment"`.…
