dtcheck's Issues

Add ability to sort projects by comment volume on a given day

This issue is about introducing the ability to sort the projects within dtcheck by the total number of comments posted to said project using the Reply Tool on a given day.

Use case

Over the past ~2 weeks (from 6-Sep to 24-Aug), the total number of comments posted has varied quite a bit. On 5-Sep, people posted 308 total comments with the Reply Tool. On 31-August, people posted 1,533 total comments with the Reply Tool.

To understand what could be contributing to a particularly low or high number of comments on a given day, I'd like to be look at individual projects and see how the current day's comment count compared from the previous day(s). Being able to sort project by comment would (I think?) enable me to identify changes in behavior at particular projects by: A) "moving" all of the projects where 0 Reply Tool comments were posted and B) seeing the projects likely having the biggest impact on aggregate comment count totals at the top of the list.

dtcheck no longer updating

3. ✅ Notice the sub-row titled total that appears within the All sites row is populated with the total number of comments that have been posted using the Reply Tool on: 2022-03-18, 2022-03-17, 2022-03-16, and 2022-03-15

3. ❗️ Notice the sub-row titled total that appears within the All sites row is populated with 0.

Rename navigation links

This issue is about renaming the links that allow you to see the previous and next day's suspicious diffs.

Currently, these links are named yesterday and tomorrow. I think it would be more clear if the title of these links were named in one of the following two ways:

1. Change yesterday to the previous day's date (e.g. 2020-09-26) and tomorrow to the next day's date (e.g. 2020-09-28).
2. Change yesterday --> Previous --> tomorrow to Next

i. Or something like 54 edits; considering I assume there might be slight variation between the counts of the two tools.
