ao3 stats 14 months later

So like, a year ago (14 months, OKAY, it's been a year), I drafted some thoughts on how to make an AO3 stats retriever. Briefly: I read a lot of fic, I'd like to know how much and any other stats, I'm extremely lazy about tracking my reading.

I have MADE PROGRESS as of this weekend, which is to say I am tweaking somebody else's unofficial Python API from here—they solved the authentication token problem, enormous round of applause to the code being clean and readable and adaptable. And to me, for someday making my first my first pull request in a public repo around the issues that have come up so far

So, the to-do list (lol), updated and for future reference, but with some of the hardest parts done.

( to do list! )
