in short
splat-weapon-tracker is a NodeCG bundle designed to be used to track weapons stats in Splatoon 3.
It is oriented towards being used for things like Salmon Run Random Rotations, Big Runs, or Random Weapon Challenges, and is useful for scenarios where you would like to display and track the weapons you've received as you go.

what it does
splat-weapon-tracker offers 3 different views for reviewing your weapon statistics, as well as a custom dashboard to control everything.
recent weapons view
The Recent Weapons view displays the most recent weapons you've obtained with a greater emphasis on the latest weapon that you have.
All of the weapon classes have colors assigned to them which can make for some fun patterns. It also means that from a glance, you can get the sense of the kinds of weapons you've been receiving.
weapon frequencies view
The Weapon Frequencies view shows a graph counting the number of times each weapon has been received.
unseen weapons view
The Unseen Weapons view displays all of the weapons which have not yet been received a single time.
the dashboard
The Dashboard is your hub for controlling all of the graphics. It allows you to select weapons, quickly see and fix incorrect weapons, change the views, manage your lists, etc.
All of the weapons are organized and color coded by class, clicking a weapon adds it to your recent weapons and updates the graphics accordingly.
The different modes allow you to select the appropriate weapon pool for the kind of weapons you're trying to track.
the story
As you may know, I really love playing Salmon Run!
Often during Big Runs or Random Rotations, I've found myself using Tiermaker to track the weapons I get throughout them, because I find it fun to explore the stats and see whether I really was getting Octobrush like 14 times.
While I had been using this for quite some time, I realized later that I could quite literally just make something like this myself! I literally build broadcast graphics!!
And so, I set out to make my own version, and splat-weapon-tracker was the result!
