Page only says "In coming ranking list for sf6 CFN." #8

This sounds like a silly question, but how do we use this app?

I found the scrape.rb file and got it to output something to the data folder, but that's just raw JSON.

I also tried starting the rails app using rails server, but the web page at http://127.0.0.1:3000 just says "Public#index In coming ranking list for sf6 CFN."

I assume there's supposed to be some way to view the data through that local address in your browser, but how do we do this exactly?

I'm on Windows, in case that's relevant.

scrape.rb is used for testing various endpoints to see the JSON output.

Unfortunately this project never really progressed beyond a prototype. My goal was to move the scraping and data shaping to sidekiq jobs and use rake to manage them, but I ended up working on other projects.

If there's interest I could work on implementing the scraping, but I'm not sure if I would stick to ruby for it.

Hey, thanks for the reply.

Fair enough — it seems to be a bit of work, and I don't really know webdev myself, so I'd have a hard time helping out. I was mainly trying to calculate the current ranked percentiles and post it on Reddit.

I'd say there's a moderate level of interest in this stuff. There's one twitter user who has been posting the ranked distribution, but unfortunately they didn't provide exact numbers for the sub-ranks (like 1-star to 5-star): https://twitter.com/CatCammy6/status/1746344867989426386

But yeah, it's your call if it's something you want to prioritize or not. I've seen a few posts about the ranked distribution on Reddit, but I think everyone had written their own web scraper; this was the only public project that I found.
