Competitors mentioned: Google Trends, ClickHouse, Grafana
Concerns raised: GDPR compliance and fines applicability, Data only goes back to April 6, 2024, not complete Hacker News history, Search matching issues with non-alphanumeric characters (C# matches C), Trends reflect total HN volume changes, not relative interest shifts, Wrong results for ambiguous terms (Prometheus CO2 removal vs monitoring tool)
Feature requests: Adjust trends relative to average content volume over time, Add Linux distro trends tracking, Multiple second-chance pools for posts beyond current system, Track post ranking changes and visibility drops over time, Clarify what is released under MIT license
