Ask HN: Will you help create a void-filler for the defunct hnbadges.netlify.app?

HN Badges was a website which displayed interesting stats and achievements for each subscribed HN account.

It's been defunct for a few months now. This makes me sad.

Here is an example of what it looked like for the patio11 account:

Is there an existing effort to develop an alternative? It could probably be a simple python app + SQLite or Postgres DB + slow scraper backend. If there isn't one, maybe I'll start something.

It would be great if the thing is open-source so it can't be killed randomly like what's happened with hnbadges.netlify.
