Wait, how can your website have slurs?

i feel like the bigger problem here is that your site even has those in the first place

What are you talking about?

Q: Why don't you add user follower count
A: Scratch has an inefficient system which does not have an endpoint for simply the follower count. Instead the inefficient solution would be fetch:
api.scratch.mit.edu/users/griffpatch/followers

Which returns the first 20 of @griffpatch's followers which also returns the data for the users as well. You can use as an example ‘?offset=21’ to get the next 20. Then after we continue grabbing more users, we offset it by 21 each time. Before then finally getting the length of the jsons in the array. As you can imagine this will be a problem, assuming @griffpatch has approx. 600k followers, we'd have to make nearly 30,000 API requests for just one user! This is the reason why I have not implemented follower count yet. Please let me know if there are any better methods out there!

Just use scratchattach, it has a function that pulls the follower count.

It wont work CloudFlare pages doesn't support python servers.
You will have to use an app with endpoints so the frontend will communicate with backend. The scratchattach will have to be hosted on Severless Functions.

It will be much easier just fetching follower count through the api by changing the parameters each time. That's how scratchattach fetches

Feel free to suggest any potential ideas or improvements you would like to see on the site!
