That's quite inspiring. Do you mind connecting via email? (Not a media request; just to learn and exchange some ideas)

Sure. Since I cannot PM you, I will use a more private address: secretsquirrel89@protonmail.com

Is it possible to reach out to you by email?

Thanks for the thorough comment!

It's definitely a hefty undertaking and that's why I was keen to know what HN thinks. Is there anyway we can get in touch (i.e. Email)?

Feel free to drop me a line at sal.aw4t At gmail dot com.

I'm in the process of recovering some orphaned personal projects at the moment, but I'd be happy to try to aid in requirements gathering, and architecting for testabilty.

Nope. It's clarified in later tweets how the graph was built.

Thanks, Twitter threads are part of the worst hacks ever.

Why do you think so?

How come? It's quite clear. Did you try downloading the image? It's a relatively big one

Not sure if it's a direct causal relationship. dang can better tell.

The graph in this case ended up being just a base layer for some interesting internet stories, while paying some tribute to HN for the great place it is.

But also HN is clearly not a startup and probably hasn't spent a cent on marketing.

In fact, as far as I've learned, a lot of the work here involves stopping bad actors/users rather than finding ways to get users.

Here's one on G Drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NJ9bio4gz8AJ7RTmYGDKXiWJLCm...

Let me know if this works for you

You'll need to save the image in order to get it in full size. Sorry there's no other way around this.

You can also follow the link, go to Dropbox web and select direct download from the top right dots menu. That gives you a version that is fully zoomable.

I just visited the Dropbox link on my phone, long press on the image -> open in new tab. It opened the full resolution image with the ability to zoom and pan at will.

Perhaps it's worth noting that this is from 2018
