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!

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!

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

This shows that purpose driven learning is the best way to learn.

Here is my stat:

[Paula Santamaría]

Indeed! You learn something new and see the results right away.
Thanks, Habdul!

[Habdul Hazeez]

You are welcome.

[Vikas Kumar]

Loved this web tool but it is case sensitive due to which if I type VikasPandey121 or Vikaspandey121 then I will not receive any result. I can see my analysis only if I use vikaspandey121. I would love to resolve this issue.

[Paula Santamaría]

Nice catch! Someone sent a PR for this issue and we just merged it 👍

[Nick Taylor]

Create an issue and open a PR in the repository. 😎

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

[Hammed Oyedele]

Cool, my article of the year is when I was showing off how clean my PC desktop is 🥰🥰🥰

[Paula Santamaría]

Nice, thanks for sharing!
I just bought a new laptop, so my desktop is super clean! ✨✨ (for now 😏)

[Hammed Oyedele]

😂😂😂 I underlined that for now part!

[Vicente G. Reyes]

My article of the year is a joke.

[Jess Lee]

Ah, this is awesome @paulasantamaria @maurogarcia_19 !

[Mauro Garcia]

Thanks Jess! Did you check your stats? year-in-dev.cephhi.com/stats/jess

[Paula Santamaría]

Glad you like it! 😊

[Tanmay Naik]

Ha.. I'd been working on something similar using Svelte as well! Looks cool!

[Paula Santamaría]

Thank you! I figure someone would think about doing something similar for this time of the year. We got the idea from Spotify. I wonder if someone did it last year.

[Gábor Soós]

Thanks for making this tool. It is good to look back at the year 🚀

[Paula Santamaría]

Cool! Now I want to learn about the secret power of JSON stringify 😮

[AlbertoM]

Cool tool, thanks for sharing. These are my stats since September

[Paula Santamaría]

Nice stats!

[Mohammed Samgan Khan]

cool @paulasantamaria , really a good one...

[Paula Santamaría]

Thank you!

[Jaakko Kangasharju]

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!

[Yash Dave]

Awesome tool! Loved to see those statistics, here are mine:

[Andrew Healey]

Very cool project!

[Paula Santamaría]

Thank you, Andrew :)

[Jakob Attkinson]

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.

[Jakob Attkinson]

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.
