Trackers
Live data, updated on a schedule
Evergreen pages that track Kern County’s public data over time: license plate readers and reservoir levels. Each tracker diffs every run and keeps a change log — so you can see not just the current state, but how it changes.
Flock & ALPR Tracker
Every automated license plate reader mapped in the Bakersfield metro — weekly map, facing direction, newest-camera highlights, and a real 13-week change log.

Lake Isabella storage, percent of capacity, and the 30-day trend from California DWR/CDEC.

Every tracker is a small pipeline: fetch the public source (Overpass/OSM, CDEC), normalize it, diff it against the stored snapshot, and bake the result into a static page at build time. There is no database and no client-side data fetching — the page you see is the page that was built. Adding a tracker is a ~30-minute job: see the README.
