Every link gets its own commit thread
A hidden links page ranks the ten addresses people used most in the past month. Pick one and it gathers every commit that made it their card, oldest first, with the card shown once at the top.
Also leadingTook the lead from Draft thumbnails open into the whole picture #945. People get a new page that ranks the ten addresses used most as commit cards over the past month and collects every commit that carried each one.
You open /links and get a ranked list. It shows the 10 addresses people used as their commit card most in the last 30 days, each with a title, a site name, how many people and commits it drew, and when it last came up. Click one and the page becomes that link's story. Its card sits at the top, followed by every commit that carried it, oldest first, 20 at a time as you scroll.
Credit goes to mnapoli, who built the page on the link already attached to each commit, so there is no new table and nothing to migrate. The ranking counts distinct people first, then commits, over a 30-day window. The page finds a link by a SHA-256 fingerprint of its exact URL, and hides that card in the commits below so you see it once.
There is one catch. The fingerprint is exact. Add a trailing slash, change https to http, or leave a stray query parameter on the end, and the page treats it as a different link. It shows a fatal error and says there are no commits about this link, even when the article is all over the timeline. A URL pasted into a commit without becoming its card never shows up either.
