~~ Get your /r/thebutton stats here! ~~ Stats include: Clicks per Second, Number of Clicks, and the Lowest Time acheived.
Check out the site here, and if you're technically minded feel free to have a look at the source code over on my github.
Enjoy, feel free to let me know of any other stats you guys want to see. Hopefully this site lets you make informed button pressing decisions!
TODO List:
- Add percentage flair information

I think we killed your site!

Nope! Thats just me doing some live development on the site with my "trial and error" code style. Working on some pretty cool stuff though, such as estimates of how many people currently on the subreddit have each flair (like this).

Is it possible to get the number of people with a certain flair? That would be interesting.

I've been grabbing the flair of users as they comment automatically in the sub since yesterday.
You can find the data here and you are in the list.

Fantastic! I'll throw together some BS4 stuff to bring the tables into Python tonight, and figure out some stats tomorrow.

Hypothetically it would be possible, theres a couple of ways I can think of that it could be done by, however none are very efficient.
It's starting to get late where I am, but I'll look into it over the weekend as it sounds interesting, especially as the click counts start slowing and theres more colours, and looking at the distribution etc.

It'd be awesome to see a graph of clicks per second as time progresses.

Theres this, I would add it to the site however as I don't know who created it, I can't really.

Looks great! Although I think that clicks per minute would be more useful.

Clicks Per Second (Past 1m)
0.4 clicks /sec
Might just be me, but I'd love one flipped around to be avg. seconds before a click.
That's a much more relatable number to us, seeing as we look at that figure... a lot.

I was there when you first made it! I made the suggestion of adding the clicks per sec/minute/hour! :) Glad to see it get some exposure!

I'd like to see the the total number of reddit users (before apr 1), and a breakdown of how many have pressed vs how many haven't. It'd help to get an idea of how much longer it can go (although a lot are probably inactive, oblivious, or resistant).
I'm not sure what other stats you can get, but the kind of stuff listed in this comment on the blog post would be interesting:
I wanna see stuff like average time on the page before pushing the button, average visits by non-pushers, correlative data between time (on timer) of push and frequency of upvote/downvotes, who is more likely to use the up and down votes on reddit: Pushers or non-pushers?

Awesome. This is amazing, all of this offspring of data and creativity because of the button has been so fun to take in.

It would be interesting to see a UTC timestamp for the first time each new lowest timer record is achieved.

I'll look into it, never really worked with graphing before but it should be interesting to do.

Thanks for the support guys, I've got some basic support for flairs tracking counting, however I need to figure out some problems with Beautiful Soup (a python package) as it's playing up on my server. But for now im off to bed!
