Whoever did this, I'm a newbie to coding, and I'd want to see the code used to pull this. I'm assuming it wasn't done manually. I've been thinking I'd want to do something similar once I get the hang of it, and to play around with it. "Hall of fame" comments or articles aren't the only ones someone new to HN would be interested in, right? How about, for example, the speed at which an article rises to the top? Or how long it remains at the top? And so on and so forth. You could probably try to draw an analogy to music charts. I don't know. But I'm working on knowing. So if you don't mind sharing, I'd appreciate.
