Slack Stats

A little web app to collect and visualize weekly stats for the Hack Club Slack. Statistics are fun and help us make the Slack better, but Slack's official stats page kinda sucks!

Feel free to suggest or add features by opening an issue or pull request.

Stack: Next.js 13 beta with app directory. Airtable for configuration and as a database.

Maintenance

Configuration:

Open the Slack Stats base in the Hack Club airtable. You'll need org access.

If you don't have access to the Hack Club org on Airtable, you can access a read-only copy of the database: airtable.com/shrchjsMgctNzkEDt

Deployment and logs:

This is deployed on Vercel to slack-stats.hackclub.dev. The project is under Hack Club's Vercel org.

GitHub Actions should automatically run a sync job every Sunday.

Run locally:

Clone the repo, cd into it, and run yarn to install dependencies.

Run yarn dev to start the development server for the website.

Run yarn sync to sync new Slack stats to Airtable.
