        1. In about a month, I went from a creating new project Git repo to getting ready to release the new version of the Wait Wait Stats Page, version 5! At the same time, I've also been working on shoring up the new wwdtm Stats Library and getting the Stats API v2.0 ready for prod.

        While the user experience of the Wait Wait Stats Page v5 will look the same as the current version, v5; but, the codebase is a complete overhaul compared to the current version. I have incorporated a lot of lessons learned from building and maintaining v4.

      The biggest change, in addition to using the v2 of the new wwdtm Stats Library, is restructuring the app to make use of Flask Blueprints. It has really helped make the code a lot more manageable and allows for a lot more consistency on how routes/views are defined.

    I still have a little bit more testing to do before I feel ready to launch the new version into production. Based on available time outside of work, I hope that launch will happen before the end of the month.

      The project is released under the Apache License 2.0, just like with the other Wait Wait projects that I have. Feel free to browse through the source code on GitHub: github.com/questionlp/stats.wwdt.me_v5
