Put in "hn:[username]" to see a visualization of your posting history by popularity over time. Also works for Reddit and Twitter with "reddit:[username]" and "twitter:[username]".

Only seems to show news submissions by a user, not their comments.

  Ok, I added comments. Put an exclamation mark behind the username to activate them: http://social.gnod.com/hn:teddyh http://social.gnod.com/hn:teddyh!

    Ooh, awesome. Reddit too please!

      Ok, the exclamation mark now works on reddit too: http://social.gnod.com/reddit:IkmoIkmo!

    That's cool, but I had a few very large links, which means all my comments are noise. I'd like to see just comments :-)

      Ok, added another rule! 2 exclamation marks means comments and nothing but comments: http://social.gnod.com/hn:peteretep!!

Needs something that resolves case-sensitivity in usernames. For example, because I've chosen "case_sensitive" as my user name, no one else may choose "Case_Sensitive" or "CaSe_SeNsItIvE" et c. Meanwhile, a request for "Case_sensitive" will fail. http://social.gnod.com/hn:case_sensitive http://social.gnod.com/hn:case_sensitive! http://social.gnod.com/hn:Case_sensitive http://social.gnod.com/hn:Case_sensitive! It would be possible to fix this by crawling and scraping an enumeration of all valid user names into a lookup table, and then matching a query tranformed to all uppercase (or all lowercase) letters against the similarly transformed lookup table which retains the valid case sensitive version, then showing the results with the corrected name.

  HN itself has case sensitive usernames for login and urls. I have always found that strange.

O/T: Marek, I'd like to thank you for other Gnod projects. I remember being enthralled by Gnoosic, Gnooks back in the day. Really wonderful stuff.

  Thank you! Happy to hear that!

Very slick! Unfortunately, one of my submissions was an outlier which got 10x as many points as anything else I've ever submitted. So I have one circle at the top of the screen and everything else is bunched up at the bottom. So two suggestions: 1. Add an option to eliminate the N top scores, or 2. Make the Y axis a log scale

  There's a similar issue if you joined a site long, long ago but didn't get active until recently (which is reddit for me.) One dot, then years of blank space.
  - no_gravity 12y ago
    Both issues could be solved in a number of ways. Im undecided yet, what would be the best. Need to sleep over this.

Is there an "about" page? Can't seem to understand what this site does.
- no_gravity 12y ago
  It displays your posting history on a chart. From the left to the right, the posts get newer. From the bottom to the top more popular. There is a little ? on the upper right of the page which leads to an info page.
