Nice! Would love a brief explanation of the infrastructure. I see the Powered by "Upstash Redish Search", but why choose Upstash Redis Search vs something else?

It would be super interesting to see if HN mentions serve as a leading indicator of company performance/valuations -- I wouldn't be surprised.

Glad to see that the raw data is also shared. Very cool, but why the openai vs anthropic graph has no data post 2019?

Yeah we had to refill the dataset due to an error, it will be fixed in a few minutes

Does the trend only show absolute numbers? Because I think it should be divided by the number of posts during the time frame (day?).

Funny one x) Though I ain’t sure if even more data is useful on hackernews

Looking at this makes me think HN is peak design aesthetic.

Nice. Is the data points y-axis normalized by total amount of comments at that time?

Edit: Nvm seems like absolute count if you click the graph.

Really cool! Where would you get the data for something like this? Is it open, or its scraped?

The colors of the lines of the big graph are inverted compared to the smaller ones.
