Just a heads up: Your classifier thinks Sun (the company) is actually Sun (the star) and hence it[1] shows up among the posts under Astronomy topic.

Cool idea!

From the name, I was expecting it would be a spatial tool, i.e. some kind of semantic graph I could navigate. I think that is fruitful territory.

Edit: Oh hey! There is almost exactly what I was visualizing, on the Connections page! This is the coolest part, why isn't this on the front page? (Also, please add scroll to zoom!)

As for the grid, I don't see the value of pagination. I'd rather have it all on one page, so I can scroll, Ctrl+F, etc.

Also, like half of the first page are different kinds of AI? If we want to visualize what % of HN stuff is AI, maybe it would make sense to have a meta-category for that.

(Would also be cool if HN itself supported tags you could toggle... show/hide AI :)

I'm also very curious about the evolution of this data over time. The popularity stats seem to be limited to last 30 days. Would be cool to see stats for all time, and maybe filter by range. (Or graphs? Graphs are cool!)

Can you add some statistics about comment lengths averages over time. I swear comments are substantially longer on average today than they were even just 1 year ago, but I might be seeing things. It's easy to assume why this is if it really is the case.

I thought it's a collection of maps (what an atlas is). Instead it's a list, 9 items per page, 23 pages - it's an index. A map lets you see the full picture in a glance. It seems like a missed opportunity to actually make it an atlas.

The count of posts are probably not a metric for quality though (not that you claimed it is), I would like to see at least the number of words accounted for! It might just be the case there are way too many more of two word sentences! :D (And it still would not be a good metric, not sure why I brought up quality exactly, I am just wondering what would actually be a good metric here for that. :P)
