New blog post: How to manually check over 400 animal shelters for new animals - in 2.5 hours

It outlines the process of checking every german animal shelter for new rats - something I aim to do ever 14 days. It took me quite some time to write the post because I wanted to have some numbers and found many side quests one the way such as

• Importing around 50 more shelters
• Updating the english translation of the site
• Adding the "Active communication" button for ease of use
• Adding logs that track how many shelters I check

And doing the the graph in python was actually quite hard - I haven't worked with pandas and matplotlib for quite some time. Overall I'm happy with the result, especially considering that the process is now full automated and I could do the same analysis again and again.
