A visualization of the rate of edits to Wikipedia in various languages.
This is essentially a replica of the original Wikipulse, created in 2011 by Ed Summers, but using the new Recent Changes stream over websockets, instead of the old Recent Changes IRC feeds. This allows for a more convenient and completely server-less setup.
Besides the backend change, a functional difference from Wikipulse is that Wikispeed uses a logarithmic scale in the gauge charts, which allows for a better visualization of the wide range of editing rates of the various projects. (See edsu/wikipulse#13)
- Ed Summers for Wikipulse
- Krinkle for the RCFeed demo code
- WMF devs for providing the RCFeed service
- HighCharts for their wonderful charts library
