After spending some time observing the 'common words' data, I realised that, on its own , it really isn't that useful. The words are often very similar day-to-day and I felt like that my observations were a little speculative.

I thought adding search functionality to the dataset might be useful, so I decided to build a way to create a timeseries bar chart so that I could compare word usage across the communities at a glance.

I'm pleased with the way this turned out. This utilizes the same data as the 'common words' visualization, just formatted in a different way.
