How to use these Hacker News stats
The heatmap below shows when high-scoring Hacker News stories were posted in UTC. It is best used as directional evidence, not as a guarantee. Strong posts can still fail, and average posts can still catch a wave.
Use it to compare busy windows, low-competition windows, and the kinds of stories that tend to do well over time. Then pair it with the discussion context in the daily digest.
