<p>I woke up this morning with an idea in mind and, lo and behold, over the process of the day, <a href="http://vis.mjs-svc.com/fastats/">finished the visualization</a>. At least, a rough draft of it. This one’s even personalizable! Check out a sample <a href="http://vis.mjs-svc.com/fastats/?user=ranna">here</a>.</p>

<p>FurAffinity.net is a neat site full of neat artists and good community. However, the statistics they provide for each user’s art are not only private, but rather lacking, being simply a list of numbers. Sounds like a good job for visualization, though! The numbers FA provides are views, favorites, and comments per submission. Not only did I display those, but averaging them and normalizing for those averages gives a pretty good idea of relative popularity of each submission. Users can view all four statistics in a steam chart, and also each alone in a bar chart. I figured this was a good way to divide things up: trends are visible in general over time and one can explore specifics for each set.</p>
|

<p>There’s still some work I’d like to do, and I’m planning on collating the data I collect into a general graph of submissions on FA, but that’s for later. It’s fall break and I’m still on the job!</p>
