MusikAnimal,

I don't want to undervalue the work needed to support backend and
data, which must not besmall. But I wanted to praise the great job
I've seen on frontend development on both
https://tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews and the other pageview api tool,
wikistats https://stats.wikimedia.org (to you, fdans, Marcel, Kaldari,
Dan, Nuria and many others). Using those tools are highly enjoyable,
which is something rare to say in today's web applications.

Great work everybody, those 2 are my favourite standalone Wikimedia
tools in the last few years!
