series — What a program measured before — openbash

The history a measuring program leaves behind, and which way it went.

series

series: what a program measured before.

WHY IT EXISTS
  A rank on its own is trivia. The same rank over ninety days is whether the
  work is going anywhere, and no single call can tell you that.

  The history is not collected — it ACCRETES. Every run of a measuring program
  files what it found, and the rows are shared across accounts because a
  measurement of the public web is the same fact whoever paid for it. So a
  question somebody asked last week is already a point on your chart, and the
  second account to ask a question inherits the first one's answer. Nothing is
  scheduled and there is nothing to subscribe to.

WHAT IT WILL NOT DO
  Show a domain this account has never asked about. The measurements are
  public; which domains an account is watching is not, and the questions it has
  run are the whole of what it may read.

  Invent a trend from one reading. A single point comes back as a point, with
  no movement beside it — "0% change" from one measurement is a number somebody
  would quote.
