Analysing my Google Play purchase history (and how you can too!)
I’ve been in the Android ecosystem for a few years now, and tend to make 1-2 Google Play purchases per month, usually removing adverts from a super casual game. To analyse this data, I wrote a little script that is now hosted on this site!

Analysing my Goodreads book history since 2014 (and how you can too!)
I tend to read quite a bit, and really enjoy Goodreads’ “My Year in Books”. It’s a great way to look back at the last 12 months of data, but I wanted to dive a bit deeper, and include my whole collection. Luckily, I discovered a way to do so…
