What's hot on Hacker News?

Here is a fun way of discovering interesting entries on the front page of Hacker News: with a heatmap bookmarklet.

Drag the HN heatmap to your bookmarks bar!

Hacker News Heatmap Bookmarklet

What is it doing?

This is just a visualization layer on top of the Hacker Newsfrontpage. If you run the bookmarklet, a heatmap will appear.

What means hot?

Hot means either a post has lots of comments or lots of points.

What do you think about it? TweetThis is probably the most useless thing I've ever written, I was waiting for my girlfriend and was really bored. The main purpose of this project was to get people inspired to make cool stuff with heatmap.js, the HTML5 heatmap framework I wrote. You still like it? Please let me know I would never have expected that! If you think this could be interesting, feel free to extend it. Contact: @patrickwied
