- Field
- nbHits per month (last 12 months summed)
- Read
- October 19, 2026, and again every month
- What it measures
- Hacker News is a forum of software developers and founders: mentions measure attention among builders, a leading signal for developer tools and new apps.
- How it is measured
- For each term (a quoted phrase) we count the Hacker News stories and comments that contain it, month by month from January 2015, with the public HN Search API by Algolia (nbHits for the month's date range). Months more than two months old are final and are not asked again. Each fact sums the last 12 full months.
- What it does not show
- A phrase search counts any mention, including criticism and unrelated uses of a word ("parakeet", "moonshine" and "whisper" also mean other things), and one long thread can add hundreds in a month.
