Silk — Three Days Later
- ohashi 16y agoI will be honest, I saw the title when it first got posted and skipped it. Yawn, another project. When I checked the next day and it was still on the front page, I had to see why. It was definitely worth it. Great job!

- chaosmachine 16y ago"Astonishingly, it has become one of the most-upvoted submissions of all time to Hacker News." 3 of the top 5 "most-upvoted submissions of all time" are from the last three days: http://news.ycombinator.com/over?points=500 http://news.ycombinator.com/over?points=500 It looks like there's been some significant growth in the number of voting users recently. If you check the top 10, nine of them are from the last month.
- yurivish 16y ago[Edit: this post was killed off of the front page. I wonder why.] That's interesting. I knew that the number of users was growing, but that the top three are from the past 3 days means that it's a lot more significant than I figured. Also, until an hour or so ago, Silk was "number one" -- and I know for a fact that there is at least one other submission that's over 600 points that is not showing up on that list, because it was showing up earlier. There may be a bug in the way that the over page gathers stories from the database.
- ck2 16y agoThat list of the most upvotes is missing many, many posts. There are plenty of high voted posts that are not on there. example: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1978295 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1978295 I was going to say it's only the past 30 days but I see one from 500+ days ago so I dunno what the algorithm is. Maybe it's based on last comment date.
