Before, it was hard to tell how delayed, but now, there is a machine-readable timestamp for every next account — so you can see exactly how far back this list is delayed! Sorry that it doesn’t automatically convert to your time zone.

There is now a machine-readable timestamp on each username.

Filtering some auto-generated usernames, minus capitalization quirks I’ve heard some people experience, is now an option! To avoid hogging the Reddit API for every person visiting the site with their own unique timestamp while preventing duplicate user detection from “freezing” the list shortly after loading the page, I also increased the time delay to fetch the next user from 2 minutes (12e4) to 1 hour (36e5).

You can now filter random usernames!

I enjoyed prepending and appending! :)

Since I’m not used to devlogs, I will say that most of the stuff I did is described in the commit history. That set of logs speaks for itself…

Hello everyone!

I forgot to take a picture of the paper in my school binder before I got home the other day, but I wrote some notes on there. Funny enough, I didn’t need these notes, as I managed to code the project without them!

I’m still learning how to use devlogs without distracting myself from focusing on the code, Here are what the notes say:

store vars: random → time of minute of first visit
(indent to where ‘random’ is) next → Unix of next interval

  1. Create new Date();
  2. Fetch localStorage "random"; if not, set to current seconds + milliseconds from #1
  3. If no "next", set to current Unix time from #1
  4. Once current date > "next", fetch /users/new.json?raw_json=1 through corsproxy.io and set "next" to "next" + 6e4

Warm regards,
46009361 (sorry for the blurry quality)

I’m working on my first project! This is so exciting. I can’t wait to share more updates as I build.
