I might do 32bit, I have not decided yet, but I think I will skip it. I will not add ARM support because this would require alot more research. Maybe in the future when PowerNex is in a more feature complete state. The long term goal is that userspace programs should be able to use phobos.

A moving average is probably the most overall useful graph, but would it be possible to also have a graph without a moving average (i.e. simple daily tallies)? That would make it easier to pinpoint individual days of high activity, e.g. due to media coverage.

One or three years ago (or if D were as it was one or three years ago), would you not have downloaded the compiler the same number of times?

I finally got it to boot today in 64bit mode. All it currently do is just print some text and numbers to the screen. It uses Adam D. Ruppes minimal D runtime, with some small modifications. I have a precompiled ISO here, if anyone wants to try it: https://github.com/Vild/PowerNex/releases/tag/v0.0.0-ALPHA The project is fully opensource and located at https://github.com/Vild/PowerNex I livestream the development of this almost everyday at https://livecoding.tv/Wild/ Hopefully someone will find this interesting.
