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.

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.

2023 was a bad year for posting apparently.

This is neat! Thanks for sharing.

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

https://lobste.rs/s/r9oskz/is_there_api_documentation_for_lobsters#c_7kmm8u

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.
