When you hover over the bars, a popup displays more information (such as the counts, etc.). If I find the time, I will host it on Heroku or somewhere else. But for now, if you would like to run it on your own (with your own scraped data), check out the app code here....

This is a follow up post to Part I of How to make and host a Discord Bot where I go through the steps to make a simple bot using the discord.py library. In this post, I will conclude the tutorial by explaining how we can host the bot we made in part I. Hosting the Bot We will host the bot on Amazon AWS. Amazon offers a basic plan on EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) free for a year!...
