Also, I'm employing <a href="https://www.twenty47logistics.com/same-day-courier" rel="noopener noreferrer">Chart.js for visual data</a> representation. The goal is to pull article stats (views, reactions, comments, etc.) through the DEV.to API and showcase them in aesthetically pleasing interactive windows.</p> <p>I intend to add the following capabilities:</p> <ul> <li><p>Article performance over time</p></li> <li><p>Most engaging posts</p></li> <li><p>Visual comparison of metrics (views, likes, comments)</p></li> <li><p>Author stats (if working in a team or group blog)</p></li> </ul> <p>And I’m wondering the following:</p> <ul> <li><p>Is anyone here familiar with building anything like this?</p></li> <li><p>What metrics do you consider most valuable when monitoring your DEV.to engagement?</p></li> <li><p>Any recommendations on API limitations and performance, as well as UX/UI design?</p></li> </ul> <p>I’m glad to provide my code at various stages of completion and am always open to joint effort! 🚀</p> Rico Rizz Fri, 25 Apr 2025 06:09:57 +0000 https://dev.to/ricorizz/releated-bro-1n8
