# Popepedia

* After noticing that the new Pope's Wikipedia page [got quite popular](https://tech.lgbt/@abichrome/114473442489770631) 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.](https://www.akpain.net/popepedia/)
* 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.
