Git and Thunderbird store similar metadata\nbut for a longer period of time.\n\nThere is a 15 minute gap at day 7 around the time that I captured the data. I added the rest of the data for that day afterwards and added an estimated value to that slot. My logs start at 8:00 every day so I had to capture data twice to get a full dataset.\n\n## License\n[Metadata Histogram](http://www.vrachas.com/metadata-histogram) by [Sotirios Vrachas](http://www.vrachas.com/) is licensed under a [Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/).\n\n## Inspiration\n\"I search, therefore I am\" Workshop with [Kyriaki Goni](http://kyriakigoni.com)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsotiriosvrachas%2Fmetadata-histogram","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fsotiriosvrachas%2Fmetadata-histogram","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsotiriosvrachas%2Fmetadata-histogram/lists"}
