adventofcode-percenter's Issues

Y-axis tick label may occasionally require roundup

The tool is great! It is informative and visually appealing.
Clearly shows the days one might get up earlier to score better.
Just noticed that one of the Y-axis ticks went wild (obviously famous JS 0.1+0.2 problem)

Seems like it can be quick-fixed here by replacing return rankOnly ? value : `${value * 100}%` with return rankOnly ? value : `${~~(value * 100)}%`

Handle Advent of Code Part 2 Timer

Many of us use this chrome extension which adds a third column to show the "delta time" as seen in the screen capture there.

Presently your display does not work with it but it would be nice if your code recognized that column and ignored it.

CORS request fails

Network request fails with 403 response on "Compute!" action at main.js line 22:
fetch(`https://marcors.ferned.net/https://adventofcode.com/${year}/stats`)

Not sure if it is an issue on marcors side or adventofcode has added any restrictions on their side.

Part 1 rate may have wrong base for percentage calculation

Have checked stats right after task completion and noticed the following anomaly in the chart:

The data table also seems not really right:

Quick calcs showed that Part 1 rank is rated rather against gold stars total count rather than that for silvers + golds.

Given that current day Golds == 1986 (G) and Silver == 1696 (S)
and participant's Part 1 (silver star) rank == 2857 (PS) and Part 2 (golden rank) == 1905
then participant's Part 1 rate should be PS / (G + S) == 2857 / (1986 + 1696) = 0.77 == 77%

I am not sure if the implemented formula for Part 1 rate is PS / G or PS / S. Looks more like it is PS / G. At least in the given example PS / G == 2857 / 1986 results in ~144% which correlates with what the chart shows.
