Useful idea for topic navigation and discovery
From 3 comments
There are lots of uses for this, but my main advice is to not loose these three things: 1. advantage of relevancy within specific domains. The page-rank was a huge value-add to…

Show dates and popularity of articles in results
From 2 comments
Very cool - can you add dates to the lists of articles, be nice to see how old an article is (or maybe color code the list to provide two axes of relevance)?
locopati on HNAgreed on this point - it was the first thing I looked for. I was hoping to use this site as an alternate view into HN to find semi-recent submissions covering specific topics.…

tsycho on HNVery nicely done. Would love to see some stats about how long this took, in terms of crawling, indexing, etc. time. Also, would love to hear more about the tools behind it.

How are related topics found?

Cool. How do you find the related topics to a given topic? What api do you use for that? Google suggestions?
