gdq-stats

👾 Stats webpage for GamesDoneQuick. Hosted at gdqstat.us

Frontend

The actual visualization is done by D3.js. Other tools used include:

• odometer - Cool JS animated odometers
• jQuery
• moment.js
• Jekyll + Reduce to generate / minify the site's assets

Backend

This page uses gdq-collector to parse the GDQ donation tracker and to collect Twitch viewership information. This data is updated every minute.

An AWS RDS PostgreSQL instance is used as the backend data repository.

Run it yourself:

1. Clone the repo.
2. Run bundle install to pull down the dependencies.
3. Run bundle exec jekyll serve to build and serve the website to localhost.
