I download HN data via API and generate Word Cloud for everyday's posts

why I did this? Because I'm trying to find a way of finding a new technology before it's popular, HackerNews is definitively the right place, so I used HN API to download all posts, and generate word cloud for each day's posts. what do you think? how did you find a new technology?

you may find the word cloud at http://bittrending.date/

View on HN

Hmm...This should be in Show HN, not Ask HN

Seem really cool, I think an SVG would be more appropriate here, to allow non-pixelated zooming into smaller words. Or at least a higher reslotion one, it would be a "working" solution, but not the "right solution

thanks. this is sort of prototype, I'm very glade that you think it's cool. I'm still improving it. any suggestion is welcome. thanks again.

What's the word cloud generator you're using?
