Adding a little blip of activity

While messing around with my .plan, I thought it would be nice if I could surface some of my real-time info on the site as well.

Following my thirty days of WhatPulse, I never really paid attention to the app again and it just disappeared in the background. Turns out, WhatPulse has both a Client and Web API that allows you to access either real-time info or pulsed info.

Anyway, here a link to an XML version of my stats. My Astro setup isn’t SSR-enabled, so the fetch I just only happens on build time and is rendered on the sidebar. You can see it in action at the bottom left.

const response = await fetch(

  "https://api.whatpulse.org/user.php?user=codewisp&format=json"
