   Cool idea!

   From the name, I was expecting it would be a spatial tool, i.e. some kind of semantic graph I could navigate. I think that is fruitful territory.

   Edit: Oh hey! There is almost exactly what I was visualizing, on the Connections page! This is the coolest part, why isn't this on the front page? (Also, please add scroll to zoom!)

   As for the grid, I don't see the value of pagination. I'd rather have it all on one page, so I can scroll, Ctrl+F, etc.

   Also, like half of the first page are different kinds of AI? If we want to visualize what % of HN stuff is AI, maybe it would make sense to have a meta-category for that.

   (Would also be cool if HN itself supported tags you could toggle... show/hide AI :)

   I'm also very curious about the evolution of this data over time. The popularity stats seem to be limited to last 30 days. Would be cool to see stats for all time, and maybe filter by range. (Or graphs? Graphs are cool!)

      Hi, great feedback!

      I took the suggestions: now the connections are first page; cut pagination.

      Because 5 of the first 8 topics are AI-related then these topics gets displayed on top when ordering per activity, it might look different in a couple of years :> for sure I could make a graph topic popularity by time and see the major tech trends by time, non trivial would be to compare it against the YC call for startups.

      Giving this to YC would be super cool for me! Any suggestion on how to give this to them?
