Learn To Code
by @dvarak·15 Dec 2020·2 views
If you're looking to learn how to code online you've come to the right place.
This guideline was put together as one potential (but really good one) path to learning how to code for someone with no previous experience.
All beginner tutorials are available here on Semicolon site. Here is a curriculum you can follow to make daily progress.
How browsers work Coding (in particular web development) requires a lot of background knowledge. Learning how browsers work is crucial to your understanding before moving on to languages.
HTML This is the language for creating layouts. It works together with CSS, but HTML tutorials on this site will provide a good reference to how different HTML tags and attributes work.
CSS grid is a set of properties for creating responsive grid-like layouts.
A wisp is a post. When you press the wisp button on our platform, you're sharing your thoughts, stories, or ideas with everyone here. Your wisps light up the platform with your unique glow, helping to guide and inspire others on their own journeys.

Followed emails sent
History of every follow — who followed whom, when, from which part of the site, and how long the follower had been registered at that point.
Backfill historical follows
Pulls in follows that happened before this tracking existed (source shows as "Historical" since that part was never recorded). Safe to click more than once — already-backfilled or already-tracked follows are skipped automatically.
Skip list
Usernames hidden from the table below, whether they're the follower or the followee (e.g. test accounts). Type a username, press Enter to tag it. Backspace on an empty box turns the last tag back into an editable word.
Loading…
Loading…
Search
Powers the "Search" tab's search box (users + articles + any web pages the crawler below has indexed). Nothing here queries the live database on every keystroke — the search box only ever reads search_index, which the actions below keep filled in.
Internal index
Users + published articles. Also refreshes automatically every 30 minutes in the background — this button is for an immediate update.
Loading…
Crawler settings
How many links to fetch per "Crawl" click. Kept small on purpose — this is a basic, deliberately slow crawler, not a bulk scraper.
Remove domain
Clears an entire domain out of the crawler — matches by plain substring against the domain name, no protocol needed (e.g. just "wikipedia" removes en.wikipedia.org, wikipedia.org, etc.). Removes every matching page, its search-index entry, and the site's sitemap-progress row.
Crawl
Picks random not-yet-crawled links and indexes each one (fetches it, weighs its keywords, and queues the links it finds on it). If the queue is empty, give it a starting URL below first.
Index This Page
Crawl this page, read all of its text, skip common words like "the"/"a", and build a weighted keyword list for it (most-repeated word = 1.0, others scaled down from there) — up to 500 keywords. Works on a brand new URL, or an already-indexed one (checks whether it changed since last time, via checksum).
Sites
Every domain the crawler has touched. Where a sitemap.xml was found, the bar shows how much of it is indexed so far — "Crawl this site again" fills in more of the gap each time.
Loading…
All pages
Every URL the crawler knows about — queued, indexed, or failed. "Re-index" re-crawls it now and flags whether it changed since last time.
Loading…
Queries
How people actually type into the navbar search box — grouped into sessions (searches within 5 minutes of each other). Expand a session to see each search, and Replay to watch it typed back character by character, with autosuggest re-triggered live against the current index as it plays.
Do not track these usernames
Their searches are never recorded — not hidden after the fact, never written to this table. Cull saves the list and also deletes everything these accounts have already recorded.
Loading…
Search Engines
Topical discovery search engines, each served publicly at /find/<slug> (some with multiple filter URLs, e.g. Twitch Streamers' by-game/by-views/america/...). Every query typed into any of them shows up in the Queries tab above, tagged with which engine it came from.

Product Activity
Live Watcher/chat/checkout activity from loom2 product pages only (ghost2gether-only view). One collapsible row per IP address — every action from the same IP lands in that IP's row; a logged-in GT user's row shows their name (linking to their profile) instead of the bare IP. Rows are sorted by most recent activity. Card numbers are never stored — purchases only show the last 4 digits.
Loading…
Twitch
Exploring the Twitch Helix API (ghost2gether-only). Connect once via /twitchoauth, then fire test calls below — every real call counts against the visual rate meter, self-throttled to 800/hour so we never actually hit Twitch's own limit.
Visitor-submitted via the "Add your own" link on /find/twitch-streamers.
Loading…
API calls this hour 0 / 800
Continuous Scraper
Runs on the server the whole time a box below is switched ON — not tied to this page being open. Each box pages through Twitch with its own saved cursor and never re-stores something it's already collected. The boxes currently ON split the shared hourly budget evenly.
= 2.0 calls/minute
≈ 144,000 items in 12h (up to 100/call, before dedup)
10200400600800
Each call can produce up to 100 database writes, so this throttles CPU, not just API usage.
This server is a 2-vCPU burstable Lightsail instance: sustained load above its baseline
drains the burst-credit balance, and once that hits zero the hypervisor throttles the entire box.
Default is 120/hr. 800 is Twitch's own API ceiling, not a safe sustained rate here —
running at 800 is what flattened the site on 9 Aug 2026.

Steam
Catalog + detail collector for /find/steam-games (ghost2gether-only). Catalog discovery (IStoreService/GetAppList) needs a Steam Web API key; appdetails enrichment is public but self-throttled here since Valve publishes no official rate limit for it.
Checking key…
Get one at steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey — used server-side only, never sent to the browser.
Steam requests0/hr · 0/min
Detail Enrichment
One appdetails request per delay interval, server-side, whether or not this tab is open. Pulls the oldest-queued AppID first; a failed/unavailable one gets increasing backoff (5m → 30m → 2h → 24h) instead of retrying immediately.
Loading…
Catalog Collectors
Games/DLC/Software are discovered separately (three real Steam calls, not one) so each has its own resumable last_appid cursor and its own progress. Once a category's catalog is fully paged, it stops itself and hands off to a periodic incremental sync (if_modified_since) instead of re-scanning the whole catalog.
Albums
Every album on the platform. Disallowing one hides it from the homepage, its owner's profile sidebar, and drops all of its songs from the main timeline — nothing is deleted, and the owner is never emailed about it. Review sends the owner an email and shows your note on their album's own page (right sidebar, desktop view).

I Miss You
Twin automatic "I Miss You" campaigns — entirely server-side once ON; no admin/UI engagement is needed for them to actually fire at the scheduled times below. Same message every user already gets from the manual button, just with no links/URLs in it, sent about 10 seconds apart (jittered ±1-3s) to everyone with an email on file.
Loading…When ON, the server checks these two weekly times on its own — it will start a campaign automatically even if nobody opens this tab.
