Hey! this is my site - it's not all that complex, i'm just using a sqlite db with two tables - one for stats, the other for all the words that's just word | count | first use | last use | post.

I... did not expect this to be so popular

What is your source dictionary to compare to? Seems kind of small. Also, how are you handling inflected forms?

https://github.com/words/an-array-of-english-words

using this, a combo of "covered enough" for the bit and easy to use

also, since i'm tracking every word (technically a better name for this project would be The Bluesky Corpus) all inflected forms are different words, which aligns with my thinking

What are the table sizes?

And what ingress bandwidth do you have?

DB is currently 58mb (damn lol)

Ingress is actually pretty manageable, ~900kbps
