    Thanks for the warm reception with Panopticon. What's on the site is part of a series of services I want to develop. I have little time to work on them so I'll be building POC modules and leave the polishing for later. Before I move on to the next module I want to leave you the data for 2021, as promised.

    Observable is a JS sandbox that uses notebooks for prototyping. You'll find the link to the JSON and some functions that process the data. You can fork the notebook if you about that life.

    Some info about panopticon.pw
    I started pulling the data four weeks ago with another service in mind. As I was looking at the data I saw that I could build a page around it. With everything that's available now it was pretty easy to develop relatively quickly. Except for Google Script all other tools are new to me (where the fun is). The backend is Google Sheets with Regex for fetching items. I picked up D3 (d3js.org) two weeks ago for the charts but it's already been a lot of help managing the data itself, I'm only scratching the surface. The site hosted on Firebase which looks solid but I'm figuring it out as I go along.
    QBN has a great system of organizing their content, intentionally or not, it almost works like a REST API. Unfortunately the system is not adapted to sidenotes and votes. Although it's possible to retrieve them it would require making frequent calls, maxing out my quotas. Moving the data to a proper database is a priority.

    On a personal note.
    (After all these years) I've finally been able to articulate my love for this community in a way everybody understands.
    Shout out to Gnash for being a true G and sticking through thick and thin.

    Cue: The Next Episode

    • Incredibly interesting stuff. Seriously. I have zero ability in coding. I blame my math teachers. I appreciate your creative code adventuringmisterhow
