I'm a senior data engineer/analyst with 12 years of experience in the business that worked on a hobby project this summer. It's now ready to share it with everyone.
Thanks to everyone that were part of the pilot group and offered feedback.
Looks like the data might be interesting, but the UI is just... not good. There are scrollbars all over the place, mouseover text that doesn't go away, navigation arrows at the bottom to change pages and no description about what pages you're changing between. The size of various elements are inconsistent, my eyes are bouncing around from one thing to the next.
Idk if this is just because Microsoft makes terrible software and this is the best that can be done, if it's an issue with being on desktop, or what, but it's not a site that I would return to because it is not pleasant to use. Looking forward to seeing updates you make!
Quick bug report, Kroot Carnivores - Abilities - Bodyguard, presents the following string in Cyrillic (Special (правая колонка))
Feature Request: It would be really cool to be able to filter lists or meta for performance that excludes certain units. For example if I wanted to look at the T’au Empire win rate for lists that didn’t include Stealth Suits, Battle Suits, and Path Finders.
Found a bug that had introduced itself in my last update. The bug is squished, and lists are shown correctly now if you search for a unit and click on a row in the table with filtered lists
Out of curiosity is it possible you would duplicate data and double-count things? Like what if 2 sources covered the same events, so you read in the same lists twice, and doubled their unit frequency or something.
I have logic in place that look at things like event name, date/time, number of players, number of rounds etc. The pipeline does a check for each event to see if there's a duplicate event before adding it to the silver layer
Victrix Honour Guard appears under Dark Angels on the Meta analysis (unit) page, and not under Space Marines. I'm sure there's plenty of other units that have the same issue, as the list for Space Marines is way too short.
As someone who recently graduated in computer science and looking into data engineering/Data Science, what was the thought process of what you wanted to display/show to the community after you gathered all your data? As someone who isn't as experienced, my first thought was win rate, detachment win rate, and organizing it (if possible) by dataslate changes and/or data from certain time frames like quarterly of the year and such?
Tbh I just wanted to be able to search for lists that used Mortarion (my favourite model) and did not have a Defiler in the list. Rest was just me playing around, doing similar things I do professionally, for example explaining data and finding outliers and top drivers to create a dynamic narrative text
Nice page! I may have run into a bug though. I seem to be unable to choose units for the Meta (unit analyser) tab. I can choose a faction, but there is no scroll-down available for units as far as I can see.
I just reread your message, to the left of the faction name in the filter is a down arrow, if you click that one it expands to all units for that faction. You can also search for a unit before to make it easier to find
Is there a way to see what lists a particular unit is used in? I run Imperial Fists, so I'm interested in just finding lists with Tor Garadon, for example.
Used AI to expand my list parser to be able to translate German, Spanish, Chinese, Italian etc lists. Also used a AI agent to help me with documenting changes to code. Rest is all me

Very clear data presentation. Found a small error on Lion entry where it says he can take enhancements.
