Fun to browse, and I could certainly see this enabling me to notice some interesting things I had missed on HN. Two minor things I noticed: Currently, 7 is listed as tending now with seven mentions. Not that numbers trending could never be interesting e.g. if 600 were trending due to the discussion about the lowering of the prime gap [0], but 7 seems to be trending just because of submission titles. Both [ and ] are tending in the past week. This seems to be due to submission titles tagged with e.g. [video], [pdf], [<year>].

I've added [ and ] to the filter list, so they won't be included in the future. It's true that there is a bit of noise. I think it's pretty good overall though. There is a filter list of 866 words that greatly improved the results after I implemented it.
