# dR stats

This project is made to determine the health of the devRant developer community.

Also this data will be used for retoor9b, the newest AI hype! You're still using ChatGPT?

## Statistics by last build

Click here for all generated [data](https://retoor.molodetz.nl/retoor/drstats/src/branch/main/export). It's a big dataset containing data for LLM's to train on, graphs per user or overal statistics and json files with all made observations. 

Statistics are build automatically using a build server.

Generating these statistics takes quite some steps. Look at the build log under the [actions](https://retoor.molodetz.nl/retoor/drstats/actions?workflow=export.yaml&actor=0&status=1) tab.

## Credits
Thanks to Rohan Burke (coolq). The creator of the dr api wrapper this project uses. Since it isn't made like a package, i had to copy his source files to my source folder. His library: https://github.com/coolq1000/devrant-python-api/


## Using this project

### Prepare environment
Create python3 environment:
```
python3 -m venv ./venv
```
Activate python3 environment:
```
source ./venv/bin/activate
```
### Make
You don't have to use more than make. If you just run `make` all statistics will be generated. It will execute the right apps for generating statistics.
### Applications
If you type `dr.` in terminal and press tab you'll see all available apps auto completed. These applications are also used by make.
```
1. `dr.sync` synchronizes all data from last two weeks from devrant. Only two weeks because it's rate limited.
2. `dr.dataset` exports all data to be used for LLM embedding., don't forget to execute `dr.sync` first.
3. `dr.stats_all` exports all graphs to export folder, don't forget to execute `dr.sync` first.
4. `dr.rant_stats_per_day` exports graphs to export folder. don't forget to execute `dr.sync` first.
5. `dr.rant_stats_per_hour` exports graphs to export folder. don't forget to execute `dr.sync` first.
6. `dr.rant_stats_per_weekday` exports graphs to export folder. don't forget to execute `dr.sync` first.

## Observations made by AI regarding statistics
The model used for generating these observations is called `smoll2` which is a 1.7b model.

Provided report below does contain some inconvenience but I'm working on it by testing several models. I am limited by the power my server provides for running LLM's. I do not own a decent GPU. 

If I would attach the ChatGPT API to my project, the statistics would be better / perfect. I have tested this. Sadly, the API costs to much for a hobby project and I refuse the use of an credit card. There are better options for payment not provided by OpenAI which I prefer.

### Several trends and insights about the devRant community

1. The most active users seem to be posting more than once per month. This 
could indicate that these individuals are very engaged with the community 
or have a high level of interest in participating in discussions.

2. There is a large range in the post lengths, ranging from 19 characters 
(kienkhongngu) to 742 characters (Pogromist). While there may be some 
outliers due to formatting issues or other factors, this suggests that 
users have varying levels of engagement and writing style on the forum.

3. The "ownership_content" value ranges from -0.5 to 1. This indicates 
that while some users do not post much, others are heavily involved with 
frequent and in-depth contributions. However, it's unclear what specific 
metric this represents or how it correlates with user engagement.

4. The most common "upvotes" per month range from 0 to 9 (arekxv) and 21 
(-1 for negative upvotes). This suggests that while users are posting 
relatively often, there may be some variability in their level of 
agreement with the content they're sharing or commenting on.

5. Overall, the data indicates a moderate level of engagement from users. 
While there is no clear indication of highly active users dominating the 
forum, the overall statistics suggest an engaged community where users 
contribute regularly and interact with each other's posts.
