This is cool. I like it! Also Cloudflare design has stepped up so much over the past 2 years.

"It essentially turns a very crappy movie pick rotation spreadsheet that my friends and I use into something that tracks what we watch, who's turn it is to pick, what we rated things on Letterboxd, our reviews, and what movies we have in common on our Letterboxd watch lists."

OP here: I'm not scraping thousands of times per day! Usually just a few times per year.

Yes! OP here. I did the non-interactive challenge, and yet all those Chinese bots in my article got through (which surprised me).

Thank you! I need to tighten up my KV compression, which is actually carrying a lot of D1's load otherwise. We also had some bad queries some months, as the pages and database grew, that were counting the wrong things (or extremely inefficiently) and those have since been fixed.

Hey! I'm the OP - thanks for feedback on my writing style. I went ahead and fixed this in the article. It should be updated by the time you read this:
https://patronview.com/news/99-percent-of-my-website-traffic...
And you're totally right: I mostly post on X (nee Twitter) and I probably have ADHD or just a low attention span, so I prefer to read things broken up into paragraphs. But for a smarter audience like this, and that reads long-form blog posts, I should tighten it up.
Thank you for the suggestion. LMK any other edits and I'll be happy to tighten it up.

thanks for sharing my /friends project!
more about it from the About page here: https://slashfriends.org/about
Your website has an /about page. Give it a /friends page too.
Why do this? Linking out is generous. It's a free gift that sends traffic, boosts SEO, and says "I like this person." The old web was built out of personal sites pointing at each other. Most sites hoard their links now; your /friends page is the opposite.
What goes on it? Whatever you want! A good way to get started: 5 real friends + 5 good follows. Some people list 3, some list 20+. Link to personal websites when you can; socials work too.

Is it a PR exercise? Absolutely.
Did it work on me? Also yes.
