It will create a file showing your longest posts if you want.

initialize this project with its dependencies, copy paste the source_data of your linkes.json and outbox.json to get an HTML export on a node server.
```bash
git clone https://source.joinmastodon.org/tykayn/mastodon-archive-stats.git && cd mastodon-archive-stats
mkdir source_data
yarn
node main.js
```
copy paste the source_data of your linkes.json and outbox.json to the **source_data** folder

open your browser to 
http://localhost:8088/
and you will see the result in html.

## What statistics does this provide
For the moment:
* who you talked to the most, with counters. This uses the object.cc field of a toot.
* what toots are containing at least a certain number of characters. You can use this to retrieve some long posts you made, to post them on a worthy place where you would develop your subject deeper. Somewhere like on your personal website, thats an easy way to find your longests posts. But be careful, it could also show how much you talk with trolls :D 

## configuration
Change vars in the main.js file.

## Format restriction
this viewer works with archives exported at the time of this writing, July 2020.

## That is messy code with a bad UI and you should feel bad
it is, yes!
Feel free to contribute with a merge request.
