Show HN: Compare long Covid treatments using peer-reviewed evidence
https://www.glaciermd.com/conditions/long-covid
Hi HN!Disclaimer: A blog post[0] on this topic ended up on HN's front page recently (which had a link to GlacierMD) but I'd already written this whole "Show HN" spiel so I figured I'd submit it anyway. Hopefully this doesn't come across as too spammy! (The previous post was really more about the problem, not my proposed solution.)Anyway, thanks for checking out GlacierMD—a consumer health tool...

OP here. I don't know if anyone reads old HN threads but thought I'd clarify some things:
1. My scraper runs every 5 minutes, with a randomly-generated user-agent and never sends cookie headers
2. The charts are bucketed by half-hour periods, so even if the headline flips back and forth many times in half an hour, the colors are grouped together
3. Agreed that in the SpaceX situation (and maybe the Cuomo situation) the headlines change because the stories change. But, e.g., in the Meghan Markle situation, the first headline appears _after_ the interview is over. But that's something to watch out for!
And charts like this one[0] look (to me) like a clear example of A/B testing. But would be interested to hear other explanations!

Ask HN: What service should have an API, but doesn't?
I often have ideas for fun projects that hit a brick wall when I discover that a popular service I _assumed_ had an API in fact does not.Examples: Netflix, Kindle, ClassPass, OpenTable.Often these services do have _some_ kind of API—but it's super limited and/or only available to huge enterprises.I'm curious if other people on HN run into this problem—and if so, what's the #1 service you wish...

1. Thanks! The font is actually just Times New Roman! I like serif fonts but wanted to use a common system font.
2. Great tip! Just added it.
