Model sentiment by version
How HN commenters received each release, latest first. Each bar shows the people who named that version: green recommends, grey uses or compares, red warns. Only versions with at least 5 people are shown, and the number under each bar is the sample size, so treat small ones with care. Most comments are from one year (Nov 2025 to Oct 2026).
