What it is
First a personal tool, then a resource for everyone: a catalogue of channels and chats with its own database, metrics, scoring and signals of inflated audiences. It collects the data itself in a nightly sweep, plus a separate crawler on the server. The database has grown to ten gigabytes. The post archive is deliberately kept uncleaned — it is a research corpus, and a retention policy for it is still to be written.
