My Workflow
I made a GitHub Action that pulls stats from the Dev.to API. It currently just counts the total comments, page views, and reactions across all of your published articles.
I'm currently using the action to periodically collect the stats and save them in a repo under stats/dev-to.json.
Submission Category:
This is a Wacky Wildcard entry, but it's fun to collect stats 😉.

It's a Typescript Action. Creating it from the template was fairly straightforward. Figuring out how to run it locally was a little rough.
