SOMPS

Added users api support and more more stats

Refetched the stats and broke a thing or two in the process

Updated all the data, working to add compatibility for the API changes in summer, but currently paused due to me being forbidden from the API 💀

Refetched the overall stats, and added a /api/leaderboard endpoint

Added a new votes chart and increased the length of users hour leaderboard

Just refetched the user count, and implemented the live.alimad.xyz API!
There has been a drop in hackclub slack users :(

Alright, so latest update, I added more graphs to the API and UI, and added a stats metadata feature.

Big fix: Update the search algorithm

Added more sorty by options

Improved smoll things, like sorting and mobile compatibility.
Improved the stats page too

Devlog:

[6/24/2025]

Starting with backend, we fetch the project list from the SOM API, we fetch the list of all

hackclub slack users, and we incorporate all users names into the project list

This will allow searching by author name

Creating getbanners.js, that uses the pages browse endpoint to fetch all project banners

-- Didnt sleep between here --

[6/25/2025]

Created index.js to get all users, get banner images, and merge them with projects.json, to create, the one, the legendary, FINALPROJECTS.JSON !!!!!!!!!!!!

End of Backend ig

Created frontend setup

Created frontend page, search page

At night:

Created the entire search algorithm (implemented from Alimad Surviellance)

The search engine basically has a goal to give the most relevant project.

This is done by assigning a score to each project, and then sorting by that score.

A project has many properties like name, author name, id, etc.

And it also has a bunch of low priority things like description, region, etc.

Alimad Search Engine merges all of them into an index, divides each index key by splitting with " ".

Then it splits the query with " ", and then filters all arrays for duplicates.

Next, a two dimensional loop compares each query word with each index word according to the following:
> If the query word is equal to the index word: add a score of 25

> If the query word is contained in the index word: add a score of 20

> If the levenshtein distance between the query word and the index word is less than 3: add a score of 10

> Repeat for low priority index with half the scores, but dont compare levenshtein distances

Then an approximate median is calculated by averaging the max and min value, adding them to the min value,

and then by filtering any projects below the mid value.

Then the projects are sorted using quick sort, and viola! We have our results.

This algorithm was designed by me three months ago.

Did some finishes, added stats page, improved UI, and followed all the requirements for Reactive:
[x] Make at least three pages that link to each other (/, /search and /about)
[x] Make a nested route (/api/project/[id])
[x] Use at least 5 components (about-content, containter, loading, projectCard, searchContent, stats, dropdown)
[x] One of those components should accept children (container)
[x] One of those components should accept props (projectCard, stats)
[x] Have a nested component (/about has nested s)
[x] Create a component that fetches and displays data from an API (/about fetches from /api/stats)

And with that, I call this project finished, with just some things left to do:
[x] Create a sort by field

Finished YAYYYYYYYY
OMG Who is this guy with 14 projects

FInalized search UI, added functinality, will add filtering and sorting tomorrow

done some frontending

Downloaded list of banner image urls, downloaded hackclub slack users list, downloaded project json and merged all into
ONE BIG DADDY JSON to search from
and created an endpoint to get a single project details
Will do the entire frontend tomorrow :)
