I then got the idea of actually figuring out how many. Then I first wanted to try out algolia but then later, I found out about clickhouse and how it had a play and the api for playing is so simple, I am definitely gonna make more projects on top of clickhouse play for HN (seriously my mind got blown because I was assuming that the browser -> api was gonna be hard but it seriously wasn't)
Then decided to think to write a github page about it for other people as well.
Anyways, this was one of the most fun project I had. So it turns out that I personally have written 0.64 Game of thrones words in Hackernews itself.
Dang has written 11.15 Volumes equivalent to game of thrones which is actually really crazy.
When I searched dang I was shocked haha. Anyways Dang, If you are reading this, I know that we all like to talk about how moderation of HN has issues but seriously man, the amount of efforts you put in is really lovely & respectable. We all love you.
I still feel like there are some issues where people flag anything they dislike which can be frustrating and other things but that still doesn't really impact the moderation and the moderation team (dang) is pretty awesome in my opinion even if the website does have this flaw in my opinion but Hackernews is one of the best websites man!
Dang today's your day! We can discuss the issues of flagging and others some other day, Have a nice day now!
(Also a little side fact but I picked game of thrones because my name of github is SerJaimeLannister because I was watching game of thrones in my brother's dorm room once in his college room and I literally just thought one or two episodes and started watching from s4 or something and then literally the second I got home, I binge watched Game of thrones till end and then s1 s2 but I think that I haven't watched some seasons I think s3 iirc more but still I loved the show so much and I think I had lost my old github account and naming is always hard especially in programming so picked SerJaimeLannister but this is the reason why I picked the novel equivalent to be game of thrones!)
So Dang once again,Thank you dang for your moderation and moderation efforts!
Hope my project can make you smile or just about anything haha. Cheers & also let me know how funny is the cat video. (wanted to prove I am human because literally people sometimes comment how I sound like AI & sometimes accuse me of such in HN which is yeahh.. beep boop)

man I really love this community yes its has its flaws and everything but man do I love it.
I don't write blogs or anything because I feel like many people who are really respectable can come and read my comments in here and give me suggestions and help me learn and other things, Its really just a lovely community! (with sometimes heated discussions) but although I must say that the feeling of community can be a sine wave (sometimes up or down imo) but still I just feel this bond to the community :>
> Oh nice!! I am 1935. I am thinking of writing less comments haha to get once to 1984 so that I can say "literally 1984" xD.
