   Thanks! That's kind of what I was going for. It's a crowded market, but I felt like there wasn't a great solution yet.

   Thanks! You can request access to zone files from the domain authorities. I take the raw zone file and load it into a series of Bloom filters backed by Redis. There are a lot of domains to check against, and a probabilistic data structure i

   You're right. It is too many clicks to save a name you like. The feature would be more discoverable that way, too.

   Thanks! I didn't know about namechk, actually. Definitely worth looking in to an integration, or adopting some of that functionality. Good idea!

   Good idea. If you click on the name you can tap on "Save" to add it to your saved names list. Does that provide what you wanted?

   Thanks for your thoughts ehllo. I don't happen to agree that this would be a better design. The tool is meant to be useful, not impressive.

    Hi hackers! I built NameQL to help me find names for my new products, and I hope you'll find it helpful too. It considers 100k+ names in milliseconds and shows you the best for which [name].com is available. Sure, tools like this exist

    Beautiful work! Reminds me of a very polished Jupyter. Any plans to support compile-to-js languages? Coffeescript, etc.

    Well said. That's exactly the point: to get "play-with-it level intuition". Even though its not rigorous, I still find it helps. I am planning on building a simulation of the back-prop algorithm though!

    Glad you enjoyed it! It uses a library called vis.js.

    Thanks! Yes. I will be posting the source to github very soon.

    Neural networks are a beautiful concept. They are also beautiful to watch. I created an interactive neural network visualizer and tutorial. It’s a fun way to develop some intuition about neural nets. It was created using vis.js, and a lot o

    Yes. "Ask HN" and "Show HN" both do almost twice as well as standard stories.

    Haha. Actually, Hacker News admin sent me an email asking me to re-submit it with a slightly different URL.

    You're right. I was focused on telling a useful story with the data. I should be more careful not to be misleading. Your related point is a good catch. That was a brain slip on my part. Thanks for pointing it out!

    I looked at the data from 1.3 million Hacker News stories and found that when a story gets submitted makes a big difference (up to 172% better chance of getting on the front page). This article shows the analysis and results. I used the o

    Absolutely! The "success metric" will be different for different analyses, though, which would make that tough. The obvious choice is to look at the mean number of votes for stories submitted at different times. I looked at a bina
