Too few sampled comments (4) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link this blog for data visualisation work: an interactive map of Chilean primary election votes and a post on moving from ggplot2 to Altair. Commenters mostly cite the map as an example.

HN discussionWith a team of data-scientists-as-a-hobby, we are building www.17-56.cl, which displays insights from data about Chile. It is in Spanish, but feel free to look around. For example, I created a map that displays the votation in the Chilean primary elections: http://fernandoi.cl/mapascomunales/primarias/primarias.html . Simple, but informative and fun.
