After a five-second "Gee, that should be my site" reaction I had the appropriate reaction: "I would never have done that. Isn't it great that somebody else used my data to provide new information." I'm old, but I can learn, eventually. (Sigh: And now I can't locate the app.)

Here's the app. No opinions as to quality, etc., since I didn't build it: https://davesgonechina.shinyapps.io/OAJourn...

[OK, I *do* have an opinion about calling software "apps" when it's not for tablets/smartphones, but I don't think my opinion is meaningful. I wrote programs back in the day, not apps. Waves cane, chases kids offa the lawn. Which I'm removing, square foot by square foot: true story.]
