[EthanThatOneKid]

What's your idea?

[6:22 PM]Ethan (he/VP/Webmaster): Trends overview: check the status of what topics our members have been talking about in the last 48 hours. This data is exposed via JSON HTTP endpoint and can be used for sharing fun facts/metrics.

Trends is a simple dashboard (inspired by https://trends.google.com/trends/) for visualizing our most popular topics of discussion on Discord within our club's most active text channels at various possible time intervals. The data being visualized is fetched from a JSON endpoint serving the computed results of our custom "trends" model.
