Love the calendar view for Jim's posts.  I'm on my way to do this, I've been using a view like this in plaindown and nvim for my daily notes for awhile, but yet to publish a version on the website.  I like how jim has made a visual indication on the different days highlighting posts that have landed on hacker news.

Jim's calendar view, love those orange box views indicating a critical moment.
