Backstory

In 2016 I was looking for a project to learn how to build out a Google Chrome extension. At the time, I was playing Destiny, so I decided to build a Chrome extension to scrape the guardian.gg leaderboards. As the extension automatically paged through the leaderboards, it saved the data on that page to a PHP and MySQL backend. Using the scrapped data, I created a bunch of figures using R.
