Firstly, your comment deserves a vote from @topcomment
With the index, it's very easy to flick through and hop over all those inconsequential or time-limited posts.
This was something I struggled with too, so I made a gosh darn tool!
Select Posts from a time period / or select those to export
I will see what I can do. I could add another row of buttons, I suppose, to collection of posts at the bottom - another alternative is to just download the CSV, load it into your favored spreadsheet application, and filter by date. I don't want to build a spreadsheet application in a browser! It is probably better to do it offline, as you'll always have access. :P
tags
It doesn't look like tag data is the in the response to the API endpoint I am querying, so I would need to go elsewhere and start to keep a database (not something I want to do) if we looked at tags.
comments
There are way too many garbage comments on chain (not yours) - and I don't want to go diving too deeply into those at this stage as the data involved would be enormous given this tool's "quick and dirty" build!
I am going to look at building some stuff (with the help of LLM) to do with how I can derive an engagement score based on comments and complexity of the post.
Yeah, I appreciate the drudgery!
Sounds fabulous!
Take another look now. I hope what I added is what you were trying to communicate to me. :)
They look very pretty, thank you :)
Here's the summary feedback I got from an LLM:
Very helpful from a writer perspective.
What I find helpful from my writing perspective is self-flagellating by giving myself awful feedback :P
And never truly finishing my ideas, or polishing them. But I do have a large back catalogue of content on hive, and digging through it is so difficult with the standard front ends, so that was the main motivator for pulling this all together and stitching code snippets from different places together.
Combined with my professional experience in analytics and natural language processing, and handling data, it felt natural to elaborate on the basic functionality I wanted.
And the underlying reason why:
(being forced to join Medium by a lovely lady at my writing group) - I've made 36 cents there from two articles... lol (but they were on hive first, and forever!)
😂 It takes all sorts!
I've just done comparison of three comparable bloggers in terms of content. I left outliers like @slobberchops (high image count, high engagement) and @bozz (consistent high-quality extended posts with strong engagement) and turned to more mundane, although not common, bloggers. I'll post it later when the infographics have worked themselves out.
Are there any features or functions broken in the tool currently? If you can let me know, I'll put it on the list of things I'll try to get done tomorrow. I want the tool to be functional and clear.
I haven't found any yet. But I'll log on this post if any turn up.

1. Readability Distribution









3. Engagement by Readability
Probably nothing you didn't already know 😁
I think engagement depends on who the author is to some extent, but even in my own report, engagement varies depending on my content complexity and length.
I agree, which was why I was selective about who I chose, and aimed to get consistency across the three samples. Incredibly helpful, though, and I think for curators as well, especially now that you have pulled in responses.
Regarding engagement, is the chart tracking comments I receive, or comments I make? My assumption is that it's my comments, as I have rarely seen anyone else leave >2000 word comments, and there's more than a dozen of those.
Also, it is a bit difficult for my ancient eyes to clearly see the razor thin blue lines in the chart of word and pic counts. Is it possible to choose say, yellow, or could that be possible without busting your chops? The colors you have chosen do create a pleasant palette, but with as many posts as you have made in 8 years, I simply can not clearly see the blue in the mix of gray background and green lines. Mine is but half of yours, but still is very indistinct to my failing vision.
It is tracking the "children" of your posts, so comments that are written by others, to you, on your posts.
I plan on doing a weekly, monthly, yearly aggregations as well as keeping the daily chart. I should have implemented that from the start, it is one of the first things my previous corporate overlords would have asked for.
That way it will be far less bars - I will also see if I can get the LLM to help me implement an option to zoom in / out on the chart for better (hah!) readability.
Apologies I missed your remarks, I received a lot of replies and suggestions for this tool, which I am working on currently :)
I have a list, I will work through it, and I will report back with a new post for those that are interested with the new features, as there are likely to be mean more usability features introduced.
Then version three will probably be a clean up and segregation of the code into multiple files instead of one monolithic block as it currently is. This comment likely forms the bulk of my new post on the topic, just without the features listed. Using it as a thinking space.
Thank you.
