Paula Santamaría on December 08, 2019

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 ...

haha that is so cool! Thank you for building this Paula :D

It was super fun year for me, here are my stats:

Paula Santamaría • Dec 8 '19

Awesome, glad you liked it! :)

Habdul Hazeez • Dec 8 '19 • Edited

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 • Dec 8 '19

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

Habdul Hazeez • Dec 8 '19

You are welcome.

Vikas Kumar • Dec 8 '19

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 • Dec 8 '19

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

Nick Taylor • Dec 8 '19

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 • Dec 8 '19

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

Paula Santamaría • Dec 8 '19

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

Hammed Oyedele • Dec 8 '19

😂😂😂 I underlined that for now part!

Vicente G. Reyes • Dec 8 '19

My article of the year is a joke.

Jess Lee • Dec 9 '19

Ah, this is awesome @paulasantamaria @maurogarcia_19 !

Mauro Garcia • Dec 9 '19

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

Paula Santamaría • Dec 9 '19 • Edited

Glad you like it! 😊

Tanmay Naik • Dec 8 '19 • Edited

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

Paula Santamaría • Dec 8 '19

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 • Dec 8 '19

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

Paula Santamaría • Dec 8 '19

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

AlbertoM • Dec 8 '19 • Edited

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

Paula Santamaría • Dec 8 '19

Nice stats!

Mohammed Samgan Khan • Dec 8 '19

cool @paulasantamaria , really a good one...

Paula Santamaría • Dec 8 '19

Thank you!

Jaakko Kangasharju • Dec 8 '19

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

Paula Santamaría • Dec 8 '19

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

Yash Dave • Dec 8 '19

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

Andrew Healey • Dec 8 '19

Very cool project!

Paula Santamaría • Dec 8 '19

Thank you, Andrew :)

Jakob Attkinson • Dec 14 '19

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

Paula Santamaría • Dec 14 '19

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 • Dec 14 '19

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 • Dec 15 '19

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

Almenon • Dec 8 '19

Looks good! It would also be cool if it told you your most used word, your readability score, and the average length of your article.

Paula Santamaría • Dec 8 '19

Great ideas! We'll look into it.

Prafulla Raichurkar • Dec 8 '19

Loved it!, here are my stats

Paula Santamaría • Dec 8 '19

Awesome, thanks for sharing!

Corey Thompson • Dec 8 '19

Very cool Paula! Feel free to join us in the Svelte Discord and show it off in the #showcase channel!

Rohan Sawant • Dec 8 '19

Hah! this looks super pretty! Great Job! Paula

Paula Santamaría • Dec 8 '19

Thank you! Although @maurogarcia_19 is who deserves the credit for how pretty it looks! I only coded the backend 😊

Ben Sinclair • Jun 27 '20

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

Diógenes Polanco • Dec 8 '19

very good idea but I'm sorry to inform you that I found a mistake, apparently it is Case sensitive and I understand that it shouldn't because a username is unique right?

Paula Santamaría • Dec 8 '19

Thank you, Diogenes. Someone sent a PR to the Github repo today that fixes this issue and we just merged it. Should be fixed now 😊

Katie Nelson • Dec 8 '19

Once I figured out not to use the @ and make sure the rest was in lowercase, it came up for me! Now I need to write more posts. 😄

Paula Santamaría • Dec 8 '19

Nice! There's a pull request already for the lower case issue, and I'll make sure to include a solution to the @ thing too.

Thank you, Katie!

Ali Abbas • Dec 8 '19

Nice web tool. Thanks for developing it. Loved it

Paula Santamaría • Dec 8 '19

Glad you liked it!

Erik Anderson • Dec 8 '19 • Edited

Very nice tool, and fun. Here's my year in dev:

Itachi Uchiha • Dec 8 '19

Hehe :) This is mine.

Nipuna Weerasekara • Dec 9 '19

Awesome!

Raksha Kannusami • Jun 27 '20

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 • Jul 15 '20

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!
