Just for fun, here's a chart showing who submits Medium to HN

(http://imgur.com/pDIyeRM)

EDIT: I should have said, this is only the last 100 posts!

EDIT: increasing the number gives a bad request error. :-/

      urllib2.HTTPError: HTTP Error 400: Bad Request
        File "C:\Python27\lib\urllib2.py", line 527, in http_error_default raise HTTPError(req.get_full_url(), code, msg, hdrs, fp)

Fixed graph here, containing the top 20 posters by number of posts, for 1000/1315 links containing the medium.com domain. (Using R; sorry about the labels)

...wow, 1,000 submissions for a less-than 1 year startup is crazy.

NB: If you want to get more than 100, you need to use the start=0,100,200... parameter which works up to a maximum of 900 with limit=100.

That's excellent, thank you!

The types of posts on Medium coincidentally and conveniently match the interests of the typical HNer. (fighting adversity, never giving up your dreams, changing flawed systems, etc.)
