Trying my best to post the kind of comments I want to see on HN.

"The most important principle on HN, though, is to make thoughtful comments. Thoughtful in both senses: both civil and substantial.

Great work on this. It's easy to use and fun to play with. I spent more time than I'd care to admit zooming in, panning around, and looking at all of the different impact sites. I also liked your write-up of the…
Very easy to use. I like it. A stats page would be very cool; especially if you listed the Twitter comments along with the votes and stats. Keep up the great work. I can't wait to see the next iteration.
Congratulations on launching your first store! I've always been a fan of vintage propaganda posters myself. I ran into a problem though: I wanted to browse through the posters on the homepage but there were no links to…
Nice job! I like how this is an easy way to find common links on a particular topic (e.g. javascript). Are the links within a tag sorted by mentions? If not that might be a helpful addition. Keep up the good work.
