Your year in DEV - Check your stats!

So today @maurogarcia_19 and I spent the whole afternoon creating a web tool to allow everyone on DEV to see their blog stats of 2019!

Here's how my year in DEV.to looks like:

Curious about your stats? Try it out yourself!

👉 My year in DEV

Check out the GitHub repo:

uppernauts / year-in-dev

A web tool tool that displays a summary of your DEV.to blog's stats!

This project was a fun excuse for me to learn about Svelte and Sapper.

Let me know what you think!

Also, I thought it'd be cool if we could use #MyYearInDev to share our stats on this platform or twitter, in case you want to participate!

Only just stumbled across this in Q3 2020. Looks very nice!

[Raksha Kannusami]

when I try to use it, it shows "The user does not exist or they haven't written articles yet". Do help me out!

[Paula Santamaría]

Hi there! Sorry for the late response.
This issue was probably caused by a filter we used to have to only consider the articles written in 2019 to calculate the stats.
A few days ago we released a new version that allows you to see your stats for 2020.
Hope this helps!

[Raksha Kannusami]

Thank you! :)

Awesome project, thank you for taking the time to implement and share it :)

P.S.: for some users, it returns The user does not exist or they haven't written articles yet, even if the user exists and there are published articles

Amazing work. If you plan to continue developing it, you can get inspired from Spotify's "year in review" feature.

[Paula Santamaría]

That's where we got the inspiration from in the first place, we just had to adapt it to use the public info provided by the DEV.to API.

Thank you, Jakob! :)

If you have any suggestions please feel free to write a comment here or an issue / PR on GitHub.

Here are a bunch of random ideas (I didn't filter or analyze them. I raw material XD)

• most popular post & comment
• most shared post (Twitter, fb, etc. I think there used to be a way of tracking this)
• most popular person I follow
• most influential person that follows me
• total count of comments and total reaction my comments received
• my most noteworthy follower (the one that reacted / commented the most to my articles / posts)
• AVG posts / comments per month / year
• stats comparison between years
• some stats related to tags (e.g.tags I commented the most on)
• time spent reading (not sure this is available. Each article has an estimated necessary time. If DEV tracks all articles I read, then a sum of them. Otherwise, the sum of all articles I commented on)
• count posts I loved
• count posts I unicorned

Hope at least some of the suggestions will inspire you :)

[Paula Santamaría]

All great ideas! We'll have to check if some of the required info is available through the API, though.

[Mohamad Ashraful Islam]

It's awesome. I loved it.

[Jess Lee]

Ah, this is awesome @paulasantamaria @maurogarcia_19 !

Thank you, Andrew :)

I should combine these tags into a single post. Anyone interested in cute architecture?

[Paula Santamaría]

😂😂😂 Please do, I'd love to learn about cute architecture!
