When a Hacker upvotes a Hacker News submission, they express a transient interest in the article. When a Hacker favorites a submission, they bookmark it for later reading. Thus, favorited articles become curated lists of high value information. I thought it would be interesting to find the most favorited articles on Hacker News. Without further ado, the most commonly favorited articles by the top 10k active members! (Sorry: the formatting works properly on observablehq.com but includes a 3MB data payload)
Methodology
A single member gets one unit of voting power, which is divided across their latest 30 favourited articles. Analysis code and data is availible on observablehq.com. Thanks to Luísa Gonçalves, Zalando, for the idea of using bookmarks as an important signal.
