Monitor Library Genesis' and Sci-Hub's torrent health

This GitHub repository generates https://zrthstr.github.io/libgen_torrent_cardiography/index.html and torrent.json with the help of GitHub Actions, tracking the number of seeders per torrent.

This project is inspired by https://phillm.net/libgen-stats-table-raw.php and also borrows some of its html, and is ment to be used via https://github.com/subdavis/libgen-seedtools.
