WoW Addon Trends - A new way to browse CurseForge addons
I have a lot of free time on my hands right now, and I found something to work on. CurseForge is probably the most popular addon site we've seen since the beginning, and the download numbers of some of the earliest addons prove that.
But, I found the addon search features of the CF website to be lacking. There is no trending option, so finding the weird, unique addons is finding a needle in a haystack of more needles. Girlypop isn't going to hit #1 on the popularity chart at Curse, that title firmly belongs to DBM. But maybe for a day, something will rise to the top? Not on the CurseForge site.
So I asked for an API key. Someone at Overwolf said "granted", may their days be full of joy.
I've built the page, and have a few days of datapoints. Now I come to all of you for feedback and critique, the part that any developer hates. Have I missed a feature that should have been obvious? Is this even something people would use?
Well, I'm ready for it.
Give me suggestions!
(also, I have thought about trying to get API access to MMOUI's WoW Interface and Wago, but they don't have anything obvious for requesting one, so if anyone from there sees this, I'd really like to pull your data into this project!)
