       | This is really cool. Seems the backend is a bit slowed down with

       | Some more background on what this is and why I built it here:
       | https://eliot-jones.com/2020/1/hackernews-trends And the source
       | code here: https://github.com/EliotJones/HnTrends
       | 
       | As I mention in the blog post this is hosted on the lowest tier
       | DO droplet so will probably fall over soon.

       | Can't do that, this will have to do.

         | Does Firefox do this by default or is there a setting to
         | upgrade http to https?

         | As mentioned briefly on the blog I didn't want to spend any
         | money on this (currently not employed and living off savings)
         | so it's sitting on the droplet also running the blog, I assume
         | only 1 thing can run off 443? If that's the case I won't be
         | looking to enable ssl for this, apologies.

           | I have no idea, but I assume that if one asks for https and
           | is only offered http, that would be a security hole. I just
           | tried asking for http and it reverted to https.
           | 
           | I can't help, I have no knowledge of these things. Sorry 8-(

             | Ah, OK, sorry to hear it doesn't work. It's strange, it
             | shouldn't be attempting to use https (though for security
             | reasons it should so I assume Ive been testing against
             | outdated browsers). Sorry.

       | maybe disregarding or scaling the last data point for the whole

         | Thanks, yeah I agree, the percent view smooths this out a bit

         | the correct solution yet given the data as currently presented
         | is 'correct' but not particularly useful.
