HackerPolls: my mini project for visualizing HN Polls
- quan 17y agoWith some free time over the past few days, I created this app to learn github, mechanize, and try out Highcharts (no affiliation, I just though it looks nice). Please feel free to add any missing polls.
- justinchen 17y agoHow about just crawling through and grabbing all the polls instead of manually adding them?
- quan 17y agoThere're probably less than 50 polls, it's overkill for a small hobby project like this. Plus people can add/update future polls manually.
- riobard 17y agoWeird, Safari crashes once I click a poll and see the graph :|
- adrinavarro 17y agosomething is wrong there, isn't it? http://hackerpolls.heroku.com/polls/4 http://hackerpolls.heroku.com/polls/4 (I mean, the %)
- quan 17y agoThat first percentage is for the general population. The original poster included them with the option names
- adrinavarro 17y agoOh. Pretty awesome then! :)
- revorad 17y agoNice! I think you got horizontal and vertical mixed up.
- interknot 17y agoAny chance that you're storing snapshots of the results? Since HN polls apparently do not close, it might be interesting to watch things change over time. Would it be possible to make a grid of all the polls and their results? Simply scaling images of the charts might suffice. I generally like to avoid browsing around whenever possible.
- xhuang 17y agoi think the update link on the status line can be use to get poll result at the moment
- RK 17y agoI keep getting this error when trying to add a poll: The change you wanted was rejected. Maybe you tried to change something you didn't have access to.
