Nice charts!
The charts were generated with Plotly via this website’s pandoc-plot integration.
As someone who uses pandoc for blogging, I wonder what's the UX of pandoc-plot, and whether it compensates the cost of putting part of your plot logic in your target document.

Unfamiliar with pandoc plot, but my website's plots are also defined in the document. I think it's great. (Code; Live). It's great because, compared to my alternative of generating the graph in advance and including it like an image
Only con is I made all this infrastructure and didn't write very much using it.
Interesting data, but curious there is a post:comment ratio of 218:73 (3:1) whereas I personally stopped posting stuff but I don't think I ever posted a story without joining the discussion.

Is the Lobsters API documented somewhere? I can't find anything except this:

I suppose I could infer the API from the source, but it would be good to know what the expected etiquette is for querying these endpoints.
AFAIK it is the default JSON API implementation that comes with Rails apps. I don't think it is official or documented.
