Would love to hear more on the methodology that drives the chart. Is it raw number of mentions of a stock, or does it use sentiment analysis for positive/negative mentions of a stock?

Yup. It is just the raw number of mentions. How many submission/comment has the term $GME, $AMC, or ect...
Nice job by the way. Would also be interesting to be able to click on a bar and see a spark line chart over time to show trends.
Thanks. That is a good idea, but might be outside my level of expertise. But I can look into adding it. No promises, though.
How often are you polling WSB? Are you just scraping the pages by date?
I am streaming the data from reddit, so no polling. The database updates every 90 seconds due to the free limit of cloudflare workers.
Thanks for the clarification.
