Last Super Challenge I put together a spreadsheet for tracking my Super Challenge, and then for the fun of it I made a dashboard with speedometers which would show how far or behind I was on any given day. I did this mainly because the Twitter bot wasn't working at the start of the challenge, but I will probably still use the spreadsheet alongside the bot.
I am happy for anyone else to use it if they like. The link below is to a view-only copy of the spreadsheet. You need to open it in Excel, and you will need to save a copy. Some of the features only work on the desktop version, for example the buttons to change your level of challenge. However, you could just type the number, and it should work fine. I've left in a couple books from last time so you get the basic format.

Image of the dashboard. Note that until the 2nd of May the speedometers won't behave properly:
Feel free to edit the spreadsheet all you like. If you break anything, it's your responsability!

Re: Super Challenge: questions and discussion
Is it appropriate to send updates to Twitter bot after concluding a reading session for the day, or better to wait until finished with a book? I'm wondering how people handle this.
Is ~250 words the typical measure for a page?

Some people do daily tweets, some wait until they complete the book. It is completely up to you, the bot will do the maths for you. Yes, 250 words = 1 page, this rule is there so that people could read comics and count up the words until they reached 250 and it counts as one page. (This might take 10 actual pages of a comic to get to 250).

Re: Super Challenge: questions and discussion
Thank you. I'll be reading stories from the web or sources other than Kindle/Apple Books, and with them I'll have accurate word counts, so I'll use 250 words to do the math.

Re: Super Challenge: questions and discussion
I really appreciate having that 250 words per page guideline! It takes away a lot of the guesswork.

Re: Super Challenge: questions and discussion
Small request for the bot. Apparently it does not accept sided quotes like “these” and only accepts "". Could you please update that?

I think adding
Code: Select all
// remove smart quotes
$search = array(chr(147), chr(148));
str_replace($search,'"',$string);
to the start of the function
Code: Select all
function findTitleInString($string)
{
//forward slashes are the start and end delimeters
$title = "";
if(preg_match('/"([^"]+)"/', $string, $title))
return $title[1];
else
return "";
}
might do it.
I don't want to want to do a pull request because I don't have a test environment for your code. But let me know if you prefer that, knowing I would post code I had not tested.

Re: Super Challenge: questions and discussion
BTW, iOS defaults to the so called smart quotes. If you want to change it, go to settings->general->keyboard and turn off smart punctuation.
