## AI overview

A tutorial describing how the author added a 7x24 color-coded grid plot to Later's Reddit post timing analysis page using D3.js. The chart represents posting frequency across hours and days of the week, providing a more precise view than separate bar charts.

## Source excerpt

This week I added a better graph to Later (for Reddit)'s post timing analysis page. Previously, the most common time and the most common day were plotted on separate bar charts. However, I noticed that I got called out on this in this article on Medium, which offered a pretty sensible alternative that I wasted no time in ripping off wholesale. I still have the bar graphs in, but I also added a 7x24 color-coded grid plot, allowing for a more accurate view of exactly when the most popular posts were posted.
