I let the LLM generate hundreds of terms and ran a “shock value” metric script to discover the interesting ones.
The sentiment analysis is very interesting, I can do that easily. Could be a new page as well. Did you see this anywhere else or just your idea?
This was a small project of mine after I've found out that I can simply the whole hackernews archive (~48GB) and play around with it.
You can compare terms just like in google trends and you can also see the exact posts & comments from that time.
I like that you can discover what went crazy in the timeline, they just come up as small burst of activity, it's quite fun to play around with it. https://hackernewstrends.com/?q=litecoin&q=dogecoin&q=solana...
I also have a seperate page for the "Who is Hiring?" posts, here is the distribution of programming languages over each monthly "Who is hiring?" post in HN ever. https://hackernewstrends.com/who-is-hiring
Any kind of feedback is welcome.
