Frontend code for data presentation

This project depends on:

Library for DB abstraction and stats aggregation

Project Background

This site was created during a period when I was between jobs and had the time to bring it to life. It started with the idea of building a few plots to visualize some data points I was interested in here, but it quickly grew into something much larger. There are numerous ideas to make it even better and more exciting.

Project Future

I have a daytime job now, so new features will be implemented at a slower pace. If you have your own ideas for improvements or would like to tackle something from the feature requests, it should be quite straightforward. Follow the simple setup described in the frontend's README.md to get the website running locally with the sample DB in just a few minutes. Then, see how the code is structured. Each endpoint is defined by a pair of blueprint Python and template HTML files. Modify existing ones or create new ones, verify that they work in your local setup, and submit a request to add them to the repository.

With the help of modern LLMs (I use VSCode + Copilot), there is no need to know Python, JavaScript, or HTML. Just explain what you want to do in plain English, and it will most likely do the job for you. I look forward to working with you and approving your requests. Let's have a BLAST!
