Obskurnee 3.0: Stats
It's been a little while since Obskurnee, my self-hostable app for book clubs, received a feature update. That time it got a search function and a technical upgrade.
The new feature this time is - stats. We all know reading books for pleasure is not a race and numbers don't matter, but these will still help you see if you're winning.
The three types of stats available are:
- Number of books read. Who has rated (reviewed) the most books?
- Number of recommendations. Who has recommended the most books?
- Number of winning suggestions. Who is the best at suggesting books the book club will like?
There's a couple of bug fixes in there as well.
GitHub release
One more housekeeping note: After reading Ethan Sholly's notes on keeping track of software releases I gave it a little thought. I have never done anything with the GitHub Releases section for this project, because I didn't see the point. I just put all that into this blog.
But now I think one good reason might be to provide a brief overview of what's new to the people who stumble upon the repo. (Duh.) So starting now, I'll try making a release over there to make it easier to follow for people who just stumbled upon the repo.

It won't be for every minor thing, though. The process is manual and updates are infrequent anyway. (And it won't be automated any time soon, I guess; I previously used Drone for CI, but that broke. I migrated to Forgejo Actions, which work well for everything - except I can't get it to build docker containers. Judging by Reddit and such, I'm not the only one. But I'm fed up with trying for now and won't be revisiting the topic for a few months at least.)
Upgrading
If you're on :latest, you only need pull a newer version.
ToDo
Next on my list: upkeep. I want to upgrade the .net version again, update all NuGet dependencies, and update Node. So the next release will be focused on that. Plus I want the Stats bars to be clickable, so you can go directly to the user in question, so I'll tack that on as well.
