Popepedia

• After noticing that the new Pope's Wikipedia page got quite popular after the announcement of his election, I decided it might be funny to see what that looks like in graph format.
• It looks like this.
• A crude collection of Python scripts, Cron jobs and Caddy reverse proxy rules held together with string produced a live-updating set of graphs that refresh once ever 5 minutes and I quite enjoyed it while it was happening.
• Now that things have quietened down now (as of the 10th), I've stopped the scraper and made the data static.
• This is probably a good thing because the code I wrote for it is shocking.
