What does it do? What does "hot" mean? I think it would be great if you could answer these questions in very briefly on the site.

- pa7 15y agoYou're right, the description on the site is not very helpful, I'll add that. TL;DR It's just a visualization layer above the HN frontpage. Hot means a post has either 'a lot of comments' or 'a lot of points' (configurable with the filter dropdown). It's not much but I was wondering whether anyone would be interested in having such a way of looking at HN. If there's someone who found that useful I'd probably develop it further
