Great!

Ah well, I found some time to make a graph for this and also found
this to be a good excuse to prototype R Markdown files:

https://tor-metrics.shinyapps.io/webstats2/

Enjoy!  And please let me know how to make that graph even more
useful!  (Keep in mind that this is a prototype and that the version
on Tor Metrics is likely going to provide fewer options to examine the
data; but we should use this prototype to learn which are the most
important things we want to have on Tor Metrics.)

Good idea, added to the list.

All the best,
