Many of these seem to be on HN if you come to think about it as every post about fonts skyrockets immediately in popularity. Or STEM people are generally inclined to adoration of nice looking glyphs...

Yes! I've always been interested in seeing what arcana and niches (like fonts) fairly predictably rise to the top here, kind of a Bizarro World third rail (not including AI and cryptocurrency, which seem to have/had their own subworlds).

In no particular order, after nearly 10 years of paying attention (the past five or so multiple times daily):

fonts

autism/ADHD

diet supplements/vitamins

surveillance and privacy

outages (e.g. Cloudflare)

Apple hardware/software (new)
