  Wow, thank you for sharing! It's not quite clear to me why number of projects seem to be oscillating every few years.

  what happened in 2013 and in 2016/2017. 2020 and 2021 were covid obviously. I mean I would like to see them distributed throughout each individual month. That makes it interesting to me at least. Also what is cool is that you can see the covid impact on posts as well.
