You could post a list of topics that are frequently posted on HN and mark each topic as positively commented on or negatively commented on. Maybe add a trending graph over time too.
Edit: I’m not being snarky. Such a list or view could be useful to get the pulse of the times on HN.
I’ve thought for a while that it would be fun to research which users post the most with respect to which subject. I think if you had a time series of HN hot topics and a graph of evangelists, then maybe some interesting patterns would appear. Covariance between posters would be especially interesting to me.
