It's very interesting to view the results for e.g. "coronavirus". A lone post back in November got no attention: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22019407" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22019407</a>
It wasn't until January that discussion started when the virus hit the US: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22110873" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22110873</a>
I wish there was an easy way to zoom in on a date range.
This is useful! I was hoping for something based on topic modelling [0] though. Keywords are useful, but often are out of context. e.g. I looked for "writing", and many of the matches have nothing to do with writing as topic, but simply mention it in the headline.<p>Conversely, there are often topics in the post that are not in the headline.<p>[0] <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topic_model" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topic_model</a>
Suggestion: Add support for passing the topic via URL? <a href="https://showcase.metamate.io/hackernews-trends/#!topic=kubernetes" rel="nofollow">https://showcase.metamate.io/hackernews-trends/#!topic=kuber...</a> or <a href="https://showcase.metamate.io/hackernews-trends?topic=kubernetes" rel="nofollow">https://showcase.metamate.io/hackernews-trends?topic=kuberne...</a> maybe?
Unfortunately their API doesn't seem to support the one feature I've wanted from any hackernews API: writing a query that only shows posts that got removed from the front page for being flagged.
This looks like something I had in mind a few months ago, but my idea morphed into an HN iOS app client with some extra bells and whistles, not published yet, needs a few more tweaks to pass the app store review.<p>Anyways this is great, thinking if I could integrate some features into the app.

I like it other than the fact that you stole the grin logo: <a href="https://grin.mw/" rel="nofollow">https://grin.mw/</a>
Very cool for finding old HN topics, like this one where Paul Graham is conspiring that bitcoin was created by a government (2013).<p>><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5547423" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5547423</a>
