Great work with this, I can see it providing me hours of entertainment. Obligatory what's the stack?

Thanks, I'm glad you like it :)

I've kept it really simple - the patentsview.org API spits out JSON, which I'm feeding into the (awesome!) DataTables jQuery-plugin. The site is hosted on GitHub Pages. I'm planning a HN-style voting system so that interesting patents trickle to the top.

Are you planning on having a feature to pick a range of days, so that I can seen what expired over the last week?

datatables is fantastic, almost always a better solution than native html tables for any non-trivial information display

2017, when "really simple" is a jQuery plugin. ;)

After all, right now the perceived norm is to send all your 100Mb/day of data through a kafkaesk array of message queues, stream processors and map-reduce jobs.

Simple from a development point of view.

I just had a cow-orker ask me if I know any Angular, because he wants to display a single value in browser from a sensor attached to Raspberry Pi.

So yes, jQuery plugin is pretty damn simple for 2017.
