PAXminer is a set of tools to automatically pull, parse, capture, and store workout information from F3 Beatdowns. If you aren't familiar with F3, check out F3nation.com. This set of tools pulls Beatdown and attendance information from backblasts posted to regional F3 Slack channels, pulls out pertinent information from each workout, stores that info in an AWS MySQL database. There are tools that then build various visualizations based on different statistics (such as individual beatdown posting stats across AOs) and sends those back as either public or private Slack messages. Check it out! Any and all contributions are welcome.
