I've been capturing the heartbeat messages since T00:00:00. Here's the data: https://storage.googleapis.com/sequence-logs/heartbeat.csv.gz

Hopefully it's useful to someone. The format is as such:

What is this?

Reddit has a yearly April Fools experiment they do. It's different every year and it's always something fun and interesting.

And every year developers from all around Reddit come and reverse engineer how it works and create amazing bots and visualizations for it.

Some great examples of this are

• The Button - r/TheButton

  • Tons of live "current countdown" sites that kept track of the lowest the button ever was and had some super cool graphs.

• Robin - r/JoinRobin

  • Many people made bots that would listen to commands or let people play trivia.

  • There was also an amazing Robin userscript that added channels and tons of other features. It was basically essential once you got into the bigger rooms.

    • If anyone remembers the name of this please tell me, would love to add it to this post

• Place - r/Place

  • Tons of visualizations were made. Along with a few Minecraft versions of Place that were pretty cool.

  • Timelapses were a popular one too.

  • There were also bots made that allowed a community to all run the bot on their own accounts and work together to create an image automatically.

  • And the amazing Place Atlas: https://draemm.li/various/place-atlas/ An absolute beautiful way to catalog and show all the images and communities that will live on forever in the r/Place image!

Every year we create some amazing projects to go along with Reddit's Experiments and this subreddit is a place for us developers to come to and learn about how it will work this year.

If you see a project someone has made tell them about this subreddit. They can post it over here and hopefully provide a GitHub so we can all check out the code!
