This looks quite nice! But suspiciously absent data points.. no Java or Go for the languages? Seems odd. No Amazon in companies, yet I think it's often mentioned.

I wondered if "go" got filtered out because it's also just a regular word.

Either way, very cool!

This is great, I was just hoping to find a tool like this and specifically scoped to "Show HN" posts? Is there a way to do that?

Very cool!

I'd love to have some sort of normalization option to separate more subtle positive trends from the general increase in number of posts.

Great project.The popular comparisons are probably the most useful part because they show the relay race between tools pretty clearly.

One thing I’d like to see is normalization by total HN activity over time.

great idea! Now, you are running into the same issue Google Trends had to solve: term disambiguation. For instance, "atom" is ambiguous in a comparison of editors like this: https://hackernewstrends.com/?q=sublime&q=atom&q=vscode. Given LLMs it might be possible to use an embedding vector (with context) instead of a text string for indexing, and if you do, this problem might go away.

Terms with spaces seem to be an "or"

We had to take the site down for a second, it'll be online in a few minutes. Thanks for trying it out

Great job! I've also been wanting to do similar statistics recently, wanting to know when LLMs becoming the absolute dominant topic on HN. Now it seems like half of the posts were about LLMs.

This is a great project. It'd be fun to look at some of the more popular startups over time, both those that ended up successful and those that didn't.

The 'flash vs html5' chart looks strange juxtaposed with that conclusion
