A complete overhaul of the statistics page.
I think I started this cause I was on a fuck google high and the default graphs are made with Google Charts. Also out of a want of more customisability and more variety of stats.
During the development of this, I started with a version where I very clearly did not know enough about coding and gave up because I could not figure anything out. I eventually figured it out and created this version.
There was a couple chart libraries I could pick from, I ended up going with a slightly older version (3.9.1) of Chart.js but I did dabble around with Plotly for a while.
Looks best on desktop, mobile version is a bit fucked looking but its still useable. I do want to improve it for mobile though.
Bookmarks tagged with 'Archived' will be hidden from view alongside a counter of how many fics have been hidden per page. Searches for the tag will show them.
This came about because I have bookmarked quite a lot of fics for fandoms that I'm no longer in and would prefer not to look at for a variety of reasons but I am fundamentally opposed to deleting the bookmarks because what if one day I want to look back on what I was reading at the time and can never find specifc fics ever again!!! I did have a makeshift solution of using an ao3 skin to accomplish the base goal of "don't show me this fic anymore" (i'll try and dig up the code for it) but when i did want to look at the fics it was a lot more tedious to do so. (either turn off entire site skin for the duration of the time you want to view archived fics or remove the hide aspect from the skin and then re-add later). I eventually figured that using a userscript would be easier as thats just one toggle button to switch between and then eventually figured out a way to have it so I wouldn't even have to toggle it off.
just an easier way to see how close i am to the limit instead of randomly hitting it one day and deciding which tag to sacrifice
Adds a vague estimate of a word count to gossamer fics
AO3 is apparently an outlier for having a word count. I got into The X-Files, found out about Gossamer (lovely website), and had to quickly adjust to the fact that fans in the 90s were referring to file sizes not word counts so that answered my question of how tf people in the 90s wrote so much.
I say 'vague estimate' as it can't differentiate between author notes and the actual fic in addition to it only averages out character count per word but its better than nothing for me.
