Score: 3.0/10 (Innovation: 4, Technical: 3, Documentation: 3, Utility: 2)

Black October is a single-page data story that visualizes cybersecurity headlines from the Hacker News front page during October, aggregating story counts, points, and comments into a narrative about breaches, PHP vulnerabilities, and a major crypto theft. It's an interesting editorial/portfolio piece combining data journalism with personal branding, but it offers limited reusable tooling or novel analysis.

Target audience: general tech readers, data journalists, recruiters, cybersecurity enthusiasts
