The basic website generation scheme is simple:

[runner results] -> [sqlite] -> [website generator] -> [static pages]

But currently website generator is a Python script that uses Jinja to bake specified pages. That's bad for few reasons:

• results are not adjustable by users on website since they are baked in pages by some rules at pages creation time,
• only limited some commits are displayed on website, no history other that in SQLite database (which is unavailable),
• because there is no history, there is also no way to create permalinks,
• UI would be way better with an adjustable commits range, selectable benchmarks and other reactive stuff.

That's why I think the best solution is to use some JS reactive framework, here are some key points:

• probably Vue.js with routing for permalinks,
• same website design without any Pages menu, only the main chart element with some settings below,
• still Chart.js for charts, using this for Vue.js,
• data should be provided to the static website by either dumping SQLite database to JSON or using sql.js to make request to SQLite right in a browser,
• data for previous runs should be also available for permalinks.

But that's huge...

Sometimes internet connection or name resolution can fail, this can probably be mitigated by trying to connect not once but N times.

For example, commits with the same datetime from 85b38190d144a936d86b7ac1c4361d3efc9844ac to 7a604cdd98eff2883b9dbd7d1ca1ddd8c147b80e are not in order for sure. Link (it's not permanent).
