Attention over time

7-day rolling share of analyzed posts/comments mentioning this entity · 90 daily points ending 2026-10-15

Final complete day: 2026-10-15. Attention was 1.6% — this entity appeared in 45 of 2,852 analyzed posts/comments in the seven days ending that day (70 mentions).

Each point is a seven-day rolling window of complete UTC days; a point is comparable only when at least 100 analyzed posts or comments fall inside it. A day with no analyzed records counts as zero; missing coverage is marked and never shown as zero. The series ends at the latest complete analyzed day — it never extends into the current incomplete day. How attention is measured.

   I like a solid offline single HTML page as a useful tool as much as the next person. There's lots of use cases for sure. But even with the Origin Private File System api changes, HTML/JS just has terrible filesystem access support

   s absolute paths, the whole thing is brittle. A single renamed folder or a drive moved to another letter breaks every link, and you would not notice until you click through a few days later. I would keep all the files under one root folder and have whatever generates the HTML write relative links from that root. Then the whole bundle moves, backs up, or copies to another machine without touching a single href. You do need a script to regenerate the index anyway, because HTML alone will not pick up new files, and that script can just emit paths relative to where it runs. The one case where absolute links are fine is if the files truly never move and you only ever open them on that machine. But for something you are going to keep expanding and reorganizing, relative links are the thing that stops you from rebuilding it every time you rename a folder.

   Serving the generated page from localhost blocks file-scheme images and videos. Opening the HTML directly from disk usually avoids that. If you do run a local server, it needs to serve the media files over HTTP as well. Are you planning to open the file directly or run a server?

   HTML and CSS alone won't enumerate folders or pick up new files. A page opened directly from disk can link to specific files if you write each href by hand, but it can't scan a directory, so anything added later just won't appear until you edit the page again. For the whole-PC version, the practical approach is a small script that walks the directories you care about and generates the HTML, thumbnails, and embed tags. That also handles map-style layouts without dragging every item around manually.

   Just use Obsidian for this. And also if you were to design a system like this and the requirements do not specify it having to work cross platform, I would use something native to your OS and not HTML. Something like this would require a server or Electron, since JS cannot natively read directories on your machine when ran from the browser.
