#### Achievements suggestion tool

Greetings fellow glitchens!
I have created a simple tool, that tries to recommend the next achievement you should try to achieve:
http://glitch.fczbkk.com/
For example, these are recommended achievements for my character:
http://glitch.fczbkk.com/missing-achievements.php?characterId=1
How do I use it?
- You enter your character's name.
- You choose your character from the list.
- It shows you a selection of 10 achievements you don't have yet.
- These achievements should be the easiest to get for you.
- That's it.
How does it work?
It scans your public profile for your list of achievements. It compares it with list of all achievements, to find out the ones that you miss. Then it compares it to a list of achievements of other scanned profiles and it picks the ones, that most other characters already have but you don't. These should be the achievements, that are the easiest to get for you.
Some interesting statistics
Here you can see the overall list of achievements, sorted from the most common to the rarest:

What's next
I know it's not perfect. I just hacked it together to help me and I tought, that someone else might find it useful. I know about some bugs (e.g. some characters can't be scanned) and I'm working on it. I also have ideas for some handy features (e.g. filtering out seasonal achievements when they can't be obtained, filtering out achievements you don't have skills for yet, etc.).
If you encounter any problems, if you think about any features, or if you are just want to let me know how great this tool is (or how much it sucks), please drop me a line at riki@fczbkk.com
Thanks.
PS: Oh, and by the way, send me a friend request:

- Useful tool there. I had thought something like that could be very useful when your mission log was looking a bit empty. For me it's currently suggesting ten achievements I don't currently have the skills for, although nine of those will be covered when I catch up with Refining.

- This is a good tool. Is it possible to find out what is needed to get the achievement itself and how along the glitch is towards getting the achievement?

- Nice idea to use crowd sourcing; it works nicely!
  I do agree that the progress bars are too subject to misinterpretation as progress towards the achievement. Perhaps there's another way to show popularity (maybe 1-5 stars).

- Double post instead of edit? That can't be right...

- Bump for "Is it possible to find out what is needed to get the achievement itself and how far along the glitch is towards getting the achievement?" from Rah.
  Stoot answered a question like this in his Q&A thread and said something like "we're not planning it, but we'd love for the developer community to take it on".
  I'd really love to know how many spice I've harvested and how many time's I've teleported...

- It's funny he says that, since API developers have said in other forum posts that they aren't able to get that information... maybe I'm misunderstanding?

- It's not finding my character. When I try to search, it'll just take me to another search field with your footer text.

- Here you are, you can try with your profile ID instead
  http://glitch.fczbkk.com/missing-achievements.php?tsid=PHVRIAMEBCB292S
  @Fczbkk A possible way to handle name changes may be to query the glitch search page,
  and retrieve the ID from there
  (That's what I did for my Glitch Companion actually)
