Who's following me on Gamejolt?
"The ultimate followers tool if you are bored and time has no meaning for you at all. Or if you're just hungry for stats. Unless it's just about being jealous to see that your friends are followed by more famous people than you are."
With this thingy, you can check:
A full list of your followers (ordered by newst or oldest)
Check if a specific user is following you
Check who are the most followed people following you #gjFamous
Check if verified people follow you #gjMegaFamous
This was a quite interesting project to work on, it required some coding and data managing.
I used Gamejolt's website API to fetch info, as you would do by going on any page on the site, but without any formatting, just raw and scary content. I checked what I could with my "raw" followers page, and I thought hey why not load in all of the followers and then do some interesting stuff with that data?
One of the drawbacks is simply that I have to iterate over all of the followers pages: there are 24 users per page, get that data and store it in my browser, then ask for the next page containing the next 24 followers. It takes a lot of time... 
And then it's just about displaying everything correctly lel, that was a bigger challenge.
Anyways here is a demo of the working site, I hope you like it!
